[racket] Index pairs question

I’ve noticed that at least some of the functions in the racket library use “index pairs”: (start . end) rather than something start/length and was wondering if there’s an advantage to doing so? I like to keep my own projects consistent with the racket style and am wondering if this format of index pairs: (beginning . end) is the preferred form?
