    Intervals represent a collection (or range) of numeric values specified by

    a startValue, an endValue and a step. 

    The interesting thing is that the elements are computed, not stored.

    For example, the interval (1 to:5) containes the elements (1 2 3 4 5) and

    (1 to:6 by:2) contains (1 3 5).

    examples:

	(1 to:10) do:[:i | Transcript showCR:i]

      notice, that this is semantically equivalent to:

	1 to:10 do:[:i | Transcript showCR:i]

      however, the second is preferred, since loops using to:do: are

      much faster and do not create temporary garbage objects. 

      Therefore, Intervals are generally NOT used for this kind of loops.

	(1 to:10 by:2) asOrderedCollection
