Alex Burka 24cc90262b note work still to be done
In particular, uses of inclusive ranges within the standard library are
still waiting. Slices and collections can be sliced with `usize` and
`Range*<usize>`, but not yet `Range*Inclusive<usize>`.

Also, we need to figure out what to do about `RangeArgument`. Currently
it has `start()` and `end()` methods which are pretty much identical to
`Range::start` and `Range::end`. For the same reason as Range itself,
these methods can't express a range such as `0...255u8` without
overflow. The easiest choice, it seems to me, is either changing the
meaning of `end()` to be inclusive, or adding a new method, say
`last()`, that is inclusive and specifying that `end()` returns `None`
in cases where it would overflow. Changing the semantics would be a
breaking change, but `RangeArgument` is unstable so maybe we should do
it anyway.
