-The
-.code rcons
-pattern matches a range. There is no semantic difference
-between the
-.code cons
-operator and the
-.mono
-.meti >> #R( from-pattern << to-pattern )
-.onom
-syntax. Refer to the Range match section for a semantic description.
-
-Note that if the dotdot syntactic sugar is used, the leading
-.code @
-is still required, because the unadorned expression
-.code "(rcons ...)"
-matches a list beginning with the symbol
-.code rcons
-and not a range object.
-In particular, note that
-.code "@(rcons @a @b)"
-corresponds to
-.code "@@a..@b"
-and not
-.code "@a..@b"
-or
-.codn "@(@a..@b)" .
