+# Main idea:
+
+This is an alternative to inserting numeric ranges with macros (i.e. `F3 F3`).
+The advantages are:
+
+1. Brevity: consider `F3 F3 SPC M-1 M-0 F4` vs. `m10 C-;`.
+2. Much better undo context: a single `C-_` will undo the whole thing
+ and allow you to edit the code. With macros you'd have to undo multiple
+ times and restart from scratch, instead of tweaking what you just invoked.
+3. The ability to insert the same number several times in a single iteration,
+ and transform it with `format`-style expressions
+ e.g. `m6\n15%s=0%o=0x%x` will expand to
+
+ 6=06=0x6
+ 7=07=0x7
+ 8=010=0x8
+ 9=011=0x9
+ 10=012=0xa
+ 11=013=0xb
+ 12=014=0xc
+ 13=015=0xd
+ 14=016=0xe
+ 15=017=0xf
+4. Last but not least, the ability to transform the number with lisp
expressions.
+ For instance:
+ 1. `m5 10*xx` -> `25 36 49 64 81 100`
+ 2. `m5 10*xx|0x%x` -> `0x19 0x24 0x31 0x40 0x51 0x64`
+ 3. `m10+x?a%c` -> `a b c d e f g h i j k`
+ 4. `m10+x?A%c` -> `A B C D E F G H I J K`
+ 5. `m97,105stringx` -> `a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i`
+ 6. `m97,102stringxupcasex` -> `aA,bB,cC,dD,eE,fF`
+ 7. `m,3|%(+ x x) and %(* x x) and %s` -> `0 and 0 and 0,2 and 1 and 1,4
and 4 and 2,6 and 9 and 3,8 and 16 and 4,10 and 25 and 5`
