This is one of a suite of operations on finite partial functions, type
('a,'b)func. These may sometimes be preferable to ordinary functions since
they permit more operations such as equality comparison, extraction of domain
etc. The ran operation returns the range of such a function, i.e. the set of
result values for the points on which it is defined.
FAILURE CONDITIONS
Attempts to setify the resulting list, so may fail if the range type does not
admit comparisons.
EXAMPLE
# ran (1 |=> "1");;
val it : string list = ["1"]
# ran(itlist I [2|->4; 3|->6] undefined);;
val it : int list = [4; 6]
