Allow @Explode for a date range using variables

According to the Help, one can use @Explode( [05/01/96 - 05/02/96] ) to create a date range value. It's only possible with scalars apparently.
Would it be possible to allow @Explode( StartDate:EndDate ), where both StartDate and EndDate are date fields? Or some other way to construct a date range in Formula language?

    Yes, would be nice. At the moment you can do it like it is done in e.g. ressource.nsf:

    @Explode( @TextToTime( "[" + @Text( StartDate ) + " - " + @Text( EndDate ) + "]" ) )

    Sure... but not very practical in a view's 1st column, when I need to have all dates in between StartDate and EndDate in that column.

    IMHO you can kill many a good idea with a @For-loop... ;-)

    How about using a @For loop?
