Package: num-utils
Version: 0.5-8
Severity: minor


At present this probably ought to return an error:

    % seq 1 3 30 | numgrep /10..4/ ; echo $?
    0

OTOH, it'd be more convenient if the ranges didn't have to be 
of this form:

    /lownum..highnum/ 

...but instead worked either way: 

    /lownum..highnum/ 
    /highnum..lownum/

Number position would only matter if there's one number.

It's trivial to code; if the first number is greater, swap the
numbers.

Hope this helps...

I think that I have sufficiently explained my opinion.  This can be discussed
further with upstream.
