don't think this is necessary

In Clojure 1.6, it appears that it may be more accurate if the last two sentences in the doc string were modified. range's doc string is currently:

Returns a lazy seq of nums from start (inclusive) to end
(exclusive), by step, where start defaults to 0, step to 1, and end to
infinity. When step is equal to 0, returns an infinite sequence of
start. When start is equal to end, returns empty list.

It might be more accurate to say:

Returns a lazy seq of nums from start (inclusive) to end
(exclusive), by step, where start defaults to 0, step to 1, and end to
infinity. When start is equal to end, returns empty list. When step
is equal to 0 and start and end differ, returns an infinite sequence of
start.

The last time range was modified was due to ticket CLJ-1018. See the attached patch there, which I believe is the one that was applied after Clojure 1.5 but before Clojure 1.6.

Perhaps that change does not do what it claimed to do in the doc string. I haven't looked at it in detail yet.

I cannot reproduce this: "When step is equal to 0, returns an infinite sequence of start."

Is this correct?

Go for it!
