Yes, I can see that causing problems. I think it's necessary to leave
the capability to generate character sequences in there now, though,
for all sorts of backwards-compatibility reasons.

My change to range() (the addition of the "step" parameter) was
primarily inspired by Python's range() function, described here:

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-47

The Python version does not handle characters, which (as we both
agree) is the "better" implementation.
