+        Some commands (e.g. <link
+        linkend="command_delete"><command>delete</command></link>)
+        allow specifying a range in the form
+        <parameter>START:END</parameter> (the <varname>END</varname>
+        item is not included in the range, similar to ranges in the
+        Python programming language).  If <varname>END</varname> is
+        omitted, then the maximum possible value is assumed.
