But "i in 5" does have exactly the meaning needed here,
for:
    0 is the nul set
    1 is the set containing 0
    2 is the set containing 0 and 1
    ...
    5 is the set containing 0 through 4
    ...
    n is the set containing 0 through n-1.

Well ... to the 3 dozen people on the planet who majored
in set theory this is all quite intuitive.

I will grant that I'm in a distinct minority <grin>.
