logical semantics for this would be rather ... odd. What should
"a"..chr(0x100) generate, for example?
The above would be strange because there are non-\w characters in that
range, so it's kind of like the range numerically but with holes.
Even stranger would be
"a"..chr(0x100).chr(0x100)
I *think* "a".."z" followed by all pairings of \w characters in the
"a"..chr(0x100) range could be an answer, but I'm not certain.
