This could well be a result of my lack of understanding how these
Range() things work. (Not to mention the Test()s and such, which are
worse:-). Tom's workaround is of course an option, but I'd also be
interested in hearing from people who've used Range() objects
succesfully, or who can tell me what is wrong with the implementation.
