[antlr-interest] Using range operator (INT .. INT)

[Michael Bedward]

Ah, I wouldn't trouble yourself Jim. I don't remember clearly but it
was most likely a combination of laziness and ignorance on my part.

As post-hoc rationalization, I note that the colon is used as the
sequence operator in the R stats system, in which I do a lot of
scripting, so the syntax seemed natural to me. Whether it does to
anyone using my language (jiffle image scripting) I've no idea.
