I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the normal crop operation" and how that is relevant to Pike. "Crop the right edge" means remove (part of) the right edge but leave everything else intact. In the same way, I would interpret "Crop 10..20" as removing (part of) the range 10..20, but leaving everything else intact.

No, the normal crop operation removes everything but the range. See XV and Gimp for nice graphical illustrations.
