    I was looking at what would be appropriate (and perhaps familiar to
    programmers - double dot is used in Pascal for ranges).  (- or +) may come
    handy later for other things. And BTW double characters are already there
    in addresses.
    We could use semicolon(;) (I for some reason do not like it).
    
    So we have 2 proposals:
    
    1) .. (2 votes)
    2); (1 vote?)
    
    The tally is on! (untill tomorrow)

                    I would prefer one character. I don't care what it is, any
    character
    will do, but having only one there is slightly easier to parse that
    having two.

    Dear colleagues,
    
    I suggested using : (colon) to separate values in a range.
    Unfortunately :
    is overused (in addresses and in names).
    I suggest we use the (old) two dots (..) to mark a range.
    
    Comments?
