[Tagging] RFC 2 - addr:interval

[Jmapb]

Very well, *I* don't want housenumbers to turn into regexes.

Nor do I want to positively assert the existence of specific
intermediate addresses in a range, some or all of which may not exist.

I doubt I'm alone in either of these desires.

The mapper (in this case, that's jmapb) doesn't know. It may be either.
It's entirely reasonable, in context, that the official address of the
entrance in question might be "174-190 23rd Street".  Yes, it's
obviously derived from a range, but using the whole range as the
housenumber in the official address does happen! Unless I know
otherwise, I want someone who's searching for "174-190 23rd Street" to
be able to find it. The good news is that currently, using Nominatim,
they can -- all I have to do is put what's written on the door into
addr:housenumber.
