To which I should probably also add that adding the range parameter to
LISTGROUP is *also* stepping outside the charter of the group.  It's in a
way that I think is minor, and it seems so obviously useful and trivial to
implement that I'm giving it a shot, but taking off my proposer hat and
putting on my chair hat, that means that if consensus doesn't gell around
it right quick, I'm going to declare it out of scope and move on.

Basically, that means unless everyone loves the idea by the time we
finalize the i18n language, it's out.
