Description

recently i noticed that an exception is thrown with something like
0.step 0, 10, {}

i checked the dgm (version 1.7.0 i think) and found that self and to equality is never considered as a possibility.

i believe it should just do nothing like, say
(0..<0).step 10, {}
or
for (int i=0; i<0; i++) {}
