If a line ends with a endless ranges without parantheses, the range will continue on the next line making it the end of the range:

range = 0..
foo = 20
range.end
=> 20

This can be some what unexpected (min would expected to be 100 instead of 20):

min = 100.clamp 0..
max = 20
min
=> 20

This is by design. We want this to work:

Time.local(2026, 06, 15, 23, 59, 59) ...
Time.local(2026, 06, 16, 00, 00, 00)

It is a lot easier to read than in one line.
