void classify(char c) {
   write("You passed ");
   switch (c) {
      case '#':
         writeln("a hash sign.");
         break;
      case '0': .. case '9':
         writeln("a digit.");
         break;
      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a' .. case 'z':
         writeln("an ASCII character.");
         break;
      case '.', ',', ':', ';', '!', '?':
         writeln("a punctuation mark.");
         break;
      default:
         writeln("quite a character!");
         break;
   }
}

The code fails to compile. If I change the line:

      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a' .. case 'z':

to:

      case 'A': .. case 'Z':

then it compiles.

I'd say you have simply forgotten the colon after 'a'. With

>      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a': .. case 'z':

it compiles.

Ouch. This is rather ironic in wake of the fact that I preached the helpfulness of that ':'. Thanks, and apologies to everyone for the distraction.
