At least one EBCDIC range hack never was in fact implemented, but I
recently added tests for it: the difference between a range i-j and
its explicit numeric counterpart.  If specified in the first way, it
should match only letters i and j, NOT the gap characters (this we
have implemented, have had for quite some time), but if in the second
way, it should match also the gap characters (this we do not have yet,
and never had).
