Cyrus,

I see what you mean. As a quick fix, one might just convert the  
range (a…b) to an array:  
c=(a…b).to\_a and chop off the first element, and create a Range from  
the result. This may not be as concise as the … notation.  
I can’t tell how important the community would find such a feature  
implemented.

Best regards,

Axel
