So -range means "make it into a range if possible" and -norange doesn't. I'm sold. :) And yes, being able to say -norange is handy if you're doing something where you're grabbing a range and then feeding it to a shell's "for i in $foo". (Over the decades that's annoyed me - a big reason I don't use mark more is because I'm usually using that to feed something else that doesn't grok "14-19"
