Given the trouble that reversed character ranges like a-Z cause in
standard regexps, there is no reason they should be allowed in rx.
Right now, (rx (any "0-9z-a")) becomes "[0-9]" and (rx (any (?9 . ?0)))
becomes "[9-0]". Such expressions are always a mistake; we do users a
disservice by allowing them.
The attached patch adds error checks, tests, documentation and a NEWS
entry.
