public static java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Integer> of(int start,
                                                       int end,
                                                       int step)
```
    Returns a new Iterable<Integer> set to provide a range for the given values. Note that if intending to get a descending range (where start is greater than end), the value of step need not be negative.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - The beginning of the range, the first Integer to be returned by the Iterable's Iterator.
    
    end - The end of the range. This value may or may not be returned by the Iterable's Iterator (depending on the chosen step value), but it is guaranteed to never go beyond this value.
    
    step - The value by which the value returned by the Iterable's Iterator will change upon each successive call to next().
    
    Returns:
    
    A new Iterable<Integer> set to provide a range for the given values.

public static java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Integer> of(int start,
                                                       int end)
```
    Returns a new Iterable<Integer> set to provide a range for the given start and end values, with a default step value of 1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - The beginning of the range, the first Integer to be returned by the Iterable's Iterator.
    
    end - The end of the range. Since a default step value of one is used, this value is guaranteed to be returned by the Iterable's Iterator.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new Iterable<Integer> set to provide a range for the given values.

public static RangeBuilder of(int start)
```
    Returns a new RangeBuilder with a 'from' value of start, and a default step of 1. This method is intended to serve as a natural entry point into the 'fluent' API provided by RangeBuilder.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - The supposed beginning of the range, passed to RangeBuilder. Can be overwritten at a later time through the RangeBuilder object.
    
    Returns:
