[Bug 17139] New: Consider making the argument optional for start() and end(). Many tutorials omit the argument, and think it means start of first range for start() and end of last range for end(). Maybe we should just make the API do what people expect.

           Summary: Consider making the argument optional for start() and
                    end(). Many tutorials omit the argument, and think it
                    means start of first range for start() and end of last
                    range for end(). Maybe we should just make the API do
                    what people expect.

Comment:
Consider making the argument optional for start() and end(). Many tutorials
omit the argument, and think it means start of first range for start() and end
of last range for end(). Maybe we should just make the API do what people
expect.
