Does Scheme/Racket have an enumeration notation equivalent to the [a..b] notation in Haskell?
In Haskell, [1..5] evaluates to a list [1,2,3,4,5].

    The selling point of Lisp is minimal syntax. So instead of special notation, like `[a..b]`, there are functions that accomplish the same thing. – Dan Burton Aug 22 '11 at 16:06

  1. (for/list ([i (in-range 1 6)]) i)

  2. (sequence->list (in-range 1 6))

  3. (require srfi/1) (iota 5 1)

  1. (for/list ([i 5]) (+ 1 i))

  2. (build-list 5 add1)

Also, (in-range 1 6) (which is a sequence) by itself is useful in many contexts.
