I guess implementing an entirely new range type could be an acceptable solution, but that’s too big of a project for me to manage on my own. If any more experienced hackers are interested in such a project, I would love to help if I can.

Part of what was strange about arguing against your patch is that I kind of wanted the feature to work that way back when it originally got written. (Not to say that it *should* have worked that way, just that part of me wanted it.)
