True, but is that a concern here? For a range, you have to have two
numbers with the dash/minus between them. "-number" would not be a
valid range. So even if we ever get negative numbers, ranges should be
readily different.

The only point of confusion would be if we ever permitted algebraic
expressions, when the '-' would look like subtraction. But I think that
would neither be sensible nor likely.

Take care,
