Thomas, it would be wonderful if you could write up what you already
know about range literals.  Feel free to sprinkle `TBD's (to be done,
or to be decided) in places you're uncomfortable about.  We'll worry
about filling those in or re-assigning later.

P.S. I'd rather use TBD than XXX as is the Dutch convention.  The USA
is much more prudish than the Europeans, and I'd hate for our PEPs to
get blocked from all those Python 8 year olds accessing our documents
from the public libraries. :)
