/**
* A range result has a simple linear distribution.
*
*
* Good examples are the number line, dictionaries, and the time line. Based on
* those examples numbers, strings, and dates are RangeResults.
*
*
* Spatial values are not range comparable as they exist in 2 or more dimensions
* and can't be ordered consistently on a line.
*
*
* Booleans are not range comparable as there are only 3 values (true, false,
* and null) and there is no commonly agreed ordering.
