Well, you gave the impression a bit upstream in this thread that having to filter a token range to eliminate errors was an atrocity (millions of tokens!). As far as I'm concerned, the recent good news was to (re?)discover than complex calls of ranges upon ranges could still be calculated by CTFE. That's really neat.
