range(start, stop, length)
range(start, stop; length, step)
range(start; length, stop, step)
range(;start, length, stop, step)
range([start, stop]; length, stop, step=1)

Construct a specialized array with evenly spaced elements and optimized storage (an [`AbstractRange`](@ref)) from the arguments.
Mathematically a range is uniquely determined by any three of `start`, `step`, `stop` and `length`.
Valid invocations of range are:
* Call `range` with any three of `start`, `step`, `stop`, `length`.
* Call `range` with two of `start`, `stop`, `length`. In this case `step` will be assumed
to be one. If both arguments are Integers, a [`UnitRange`](@ref) will be returned.
* Call `range` with one of `stop` or `length`. `start` and `step` will be assumed to be one.
Given a starting value, construct a range either by length or from `start` to `stop`,
optionally with a given step (defaults to 1, a [`UnitRange`](@ref)). If `length`, `stop`, and `step` are all specified, they must agree.

Do you mean to change all the wording here? I think explaining "range" by saying it "constructs a range" is a bit circular.

This was last changed here: #38041 (comment) . The proposed words look a bit like the ones from before. So perhaps this is just a git problem?

Probably it should have been a PR to the 1.6 branch? In any case; it is updated now after the 1.7.0 docs deploy: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/math/#Base.range

Yes it was for 1.6 documentation, but now after this 1.7 docs deployment there is no need for it, I think I must close it now.
