A bound on the right is an *upper bound*.

A range pattern with both a lower and upper bound will match all values between and including both of its bounds.
It is written as its lower bound, followed by `..=`, followed by its upper bound.
It is written as its lower bound, followed by `..` for end-exclusive or `..=` for end-inclusive, followed by its upper bound.
The type of the range pattern is the type unification of its upper and lower bounds.

For example, a pattern `'m'..='p'` will match only the values `'m'`, `'n'`, `'o'`, and `'p'`.
Similarly, `'m'..'p'` will match only `'m'`, `'n'` and `'o'`, specifically **not** including `'p'`.

The lower bound cannot be greater than the upper bound.
That is, in `a..=b`, a ≤ b must be the case.

> **Edition Differences**: Before the 2021 edition, range patterns with both a lower and upper bound may also be written using `...` in place of `..=`, with the same meaning.
> **Note**: Although range patterns use the same syntax as [range expressions], there are no exclusive range patterns.
> That is, neither `x .. y` nor `.. x` are valid range patterns.
