Ah, I see. I'm also not that happy about this dicussion. I
haven't expected that my proposal meet such a big objection
(apart from the naming). To me, the usefullness of the
functionality itself was apparent.
Anyway, it seems that the further discussion is a waste of
our time. I'd like to ask Richard to decide it. For the
moment, I'll put `indian-range' in lisp/language/ind-util.el
with autoload cookie.

Ah, it's more general, but not convenient for the current
situation where we want to specify START and END
explicitely. Otherwise, the code gets difficult to read.

PS. May I ask the nuance of the color "pale blue-green"?
