Array.range() (was: Suggestion: Array.prototype.repeat)

Good point. Maybe all of these parameters should be options:

Array.range() -> 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Array.range({ start: 3 }) -> 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
Array.range({ end: 5 }) -> 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Array.range({ step: 3 }) -> 0, 3, 6, 9, ...
Array.range({ start: -2, step: -1 }) -> -2, -3, -4, -5, ...
etc.

The defaults of start and end and the comparison operator depend on the sign of step.
