Minimized code

val range = BigInt("0") until BigInt("1000000000000")
println(range.take(10).toList)

Expectation

https://scala-lang.org/api/3.x/scala/collection/immutable/Range.html
Documentation says an exception will be thrown when a collection is created with too many elements, or asked to index beyond Int.MaxValue will thrown an exception. However, shown code example arguably does not access elements beyond Int.MaxValue?

Scala2 bug repository suggests an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown if the initialized range is too large scala/bug#4308 scala/bug#4042

That will require an upstream fix in scala 2.13 standard library. There already seems to be an issue for that scala/bug#12706
