Thank you for this new function! Looks like these functions are available in DuckDB 👍🏼 https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/functions/nested.html#range-functions

Here are some suggestions:

1. Can we add more corner case tests like range(5,5,0), range(1,5,-1), range(1,-5,1)...
2. Include the semantics of this function (is start/end index inclusive or exclusive, what will happen for range(1,5,-1)) in SQL doc: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/main/docs/source/user-guide/sql/scalar_functions.md

thanks! I have made it clear in the test and doc.

Thank you for the doc. I think the panic should be addressed. Everything else looks good to me

Thank you @Veeupup -- this looks great. I took the liberty of merging this branch up from main to resolve a conflict.

It would be great if you could add a doc comment explaining the arguments to gen_range , but I also think we could do that as a follow on PR if necessary.

Thanks again for the recent string of nice PRs 🙏
