Conformance of Range to Codable may cause problems for libSwiftPM clients

Ideally this would be addressed by improving Swift but in the meantime until this happens, to quote from the other thread:

IMO a library that adds such a conformance is a bad citizen. A wrapper type or other alternative design should be used. It makes code clunkier, but ensures that users of the library do not run into this issue.

Extending types you do not own with protocol conformances to protocols you do not own puts you at risk of breakage.
