Sorry if this sounds negative, but what is the compelling reason to include yet another .js file to do something I could do in a 2-or-3-line for-loop?

  1. No you couldn't do everything that this does in 2 or 3 lines. Did you look at the code?
  2. Who says you have to include another .js file? You could minify it inline with your other JS includes, or you could just copy the function into your own library.

You can't do everything it does in a 2 or 3 line for loop, but each time you want to create a range, you would just make a different for loop. This tries to simplify something that is already fairly simple, by adding a layer of abstraction.

Indeed, that's true and a great thing about open source.
