18216, "bradcray", "'range' should be a reserved word in Chapel, shouldn't it?", "2021-08-12T23:28:14Z"
Initially, Chapel avoided reserving type names as much as possible, but over time, we've swung the other direction and have reserved the vast majority of type names that we use (int
, complex
, bool
, string
, bytes
, domain
, locale
, ...).
While preparing slides last night, I realized that it seems we didn't reserve range
(?), and it's the only case I've b een able to come up with that we seem to have missed. I think this was probably just an oversight and that we should reserve it, but wanted to confirm with others before taking any action.
