Returns a regex-compatible range from two numbers, min and max. Inspired by [jonschlinkert/to-regex-range](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/to-regex-range).

Why would I need this?
----------------------

[](#why-would-i-need-this)

That's a good question. You normally would write something like `if ($x > $min && $x < $max) { ... }`, right?

Say you want to build a [glob](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php) like function yourself.

If your glob would support syntax like `foo/{1..5}.md` and you plan to do the matching using a regex pattern.. Well, this library can convert `1..5` to a regex.
