Would `linecut --range 1:2,3:4,-100:-1` be considered sensible?

Do you plan to have a means of specifying a number of lines? E.g.:

$ seq 10 | linecut --range 5,+3
5
6
7
$

@Jim, 'addr1,addr2' syntax belongs to sed, so I would argue it isn't "new". It's also easier to type when specifying only one range :-).

Btw, how do you match 5 through end? '5,-0'? What does a reversed range (e.g. '5,2') match?
