       in the same order that it is read, and is written exactly once.  Each
       range is one of:
       N      N'th byte, character or field, counted from 1
       N-     from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line
       N-M    from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field
       -M     from first to M'th (included) byte, character or field
