What type of issue is this?

Permanent – Occurring repeatably

Is this issue blocking you from using Enso?

• Yes, I can't use Enso because of this issue.

Is this a regression?

• Yes, previous version of Enso did not have this issue.

What issue are you facing?

I tried to use Range.Between to produce a sequence of Date values, but got an error. See bottom left:

Both inputs are Date objects; I don't know where the 0 mentioned in the error is coming from.

Expected behaviour

Range.Between should produce a range of dates.

How we can reproduce it?

Libs will have a look into how best to expand the Date support to allow this.

Radosław Waśko reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-09):

Progress: Implemented basic operations for Date_Range with a brute force algorithm. It should be finished by 2023-05-11.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the same task. Add other missing operations. Better tests to ensure no infinite loops (n>1 cycles?). Add heuristics for more efficient computation of simple steps.

Radosław Waśko reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-10):

Progress: Figuring out wild edge cases. Decided to only handle non-negative steps, as mixed sign steps were a huge pain. Implemented 2 O(1) heuristics that avoid an O(N) computation for simpler cases. Added lots of tests to ensure the heuristics work correctly. Prepared the PR. Started small tweaks on range widgets. It should be finished by 2023-05-11.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6410 task. Continue widget related tasks. Possibly start Date parsing? We'll see what's needed.
