Somebody got the same issue a couple months ago. That's why I've added
these explicit warning in 1.8. NEWS says:
+ hwloc-calc and friends have a more robust parsing of locations given
on the command-line and they report useful error messages about it.

It's annoying to implement because the current code was designed for
(nested) loops only. Given that object:index1 object:index2 is easy to
write, I'd vote for not making the code too complex.
