Description
Stores have some magic syntax for modifying multiple elements at once: arrays and
{from, to, [step]}
objects. Previously we called both of them "ranges", but only the latter is ranges. Now the category is "modifying multiple elements", and only one is called a range. I also noticed that the array syntax works for object properties too, so I documented that. Also added a bunch of examples, and added explicit equivalent code to explain exactly what they're doing. Also mentioned the key difference, which is batching.I didn't actually know these features, but did some basic testing to understand how they work. (The answer is: very generally.)
