4130 :: Best way to teach `..` vs `..<`?

  My colleague recently stumbled on trying

  var x: array[1..<5, int]

  which can only be done, I think, as

  var x: array[1..4, int]

  What's the best way to teach why that doesn't work?

  I'm pretty sure there is a feature request to have that work and that it doesn't work because no one had the time to implement it.

  @mratsim is right - I finally found the original issue: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/6215
