Third solution.  We realize that there is no character we can designate
to act as a range indicator because those characters appear in
addresses that are not ranges.  We come up with something similar
in syntax to addr:flats to deal with ranges.  This may require a
lot of retagging over time, but the current options are broken in
one or more ways.
