This patch fixes Range.to\_s to correctly show … instead of … for  
exclusive ranges.  
It adds the functions “step” and “hash”.  
It adds the aliases “eql?” for “==” and “include?” and “member?” for  
“===”.  
It merges the implementation of “first” and “begin” and of “last” and  
“end”.

All the changes incorporate tests.
