[issue35200] Make the half-open range behaviour easier to teach

[Julien Palard]

Julien Palard <julien+python at palard.fr> added the comment:

My first though went to giving something really simple like:

>>> print(range(10))
1, 2, ..., 8, 9

But for the empty range it would give an empty string. It may make sense, but may also be surprising.

The other way would be to print [1, 2, ..., 8. 9], so the empty range gets [] instead of nothing.

I think I prefer the first way.
