Description

irb currently doesn't have great support for endless ranges, forcing you to use explicit parentheses around the endless range. Without explicit parentheses, it treats the endless range as a line continuation.

irb(main):001:0> 1..
irb(main):002:0* ;
=> 1..
irb(main):003:0> (1..)
=> 1..
irb(main):004:0>

Ranges with ends do not require parentheses in irb, and endless ranges should have the same behavior.
