/**
 * A generator to yield numbers in a given range

 * @remarks
 * This method is end-exclusive, for example the last number yielded by `range(5)` is 4. If you
 * prefer for the end to be included add 1 to the range or `end` option.
 * @param range - A number representing the range to yield (exclusive) or an object with start, end and step
 * @example
 * Basic range
 * ```ts
 * for (const number of range(5)) {
 *  console.log(number);
 * }
 * // Prints 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
 * ```
 * @example
 * Range with a step
 * ```ts
 * for (const number of range({ start: 3, end: 10, step: 2 })) {
 * 	console.log(number);
 * }
 * // Prints 3, 5, 7, 9
