Log Message:
-----------
[S03] Attempt bring more clarity to the semantics of series operators.
The limit is now always a smartmatch, which must match exactly.
No attempt is made to intuit which direction the series is going,
or to turn exact matches into inequalities. Non-numeric series
behavior is regularized to work like single characters, taking
into account the target value as indicative of the range desired.
The old semantics are relegated to explicit *.succ and limits.
Also, ... and ...^ are defined in terms of last($x) vs last().
