In a number of ways, r behaves as if it were that list, but r is
definitely not that list:

    >>> r = range(10)
    >>> type(r)
    <class 'range'>
    >>> l = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
    >>> type(l)
    <class 'list'>
    >>> r == l
    False

Citation needed?  I can't speak for every version of BASIC ever, but the
ones I used had separate namespaces for numeric variables and string
variables:  A was a number, A$ was a string, and never the twain shall
meet.  That's strict typing.
