This is perhaps a different angle at #13566
Currently range is a concrete type vs. domain is a generic type. This is non-intuitive and a newcomer is likely to bump into it at some point.
This issue proposes making them either both concrete or both generic.
Pro: makes Chapel easier to learn (and easier to use??)
Con: makes existing Chapel users unhappier
