Sequence of numbers -

I know this isn't really what xQuery is for, but it would be helpful if I could find a relatively easy way of doing this with xQuery.

I need to create a sequence of integers.  I start with a min and max value - need to fill in the rest.

example:
declare function fill_in_the_blanks($min as xs:integer, $max as xs:integer) as xs:sequence {
  ... do something to get
  $full_sequence := xs:sequence($min, $min+1, $min+2, $min+3... $max)
  return $full_sequence
};

I've spent an afternoon searching and playing with recursion and think I might be able to create something, but I'm hoping there's an easier way that I just haven't found.

Thanks>
