What is the "desired" behaviour if the range input is e.g. "4,10-6" instead of "4,6-10"? My current implementation of [[Range extraction]] from "4,3,2,1" produces "4-1", while the current impl of Range expansion won't expand "4-1" to "4,3,2,1"... I have a ready solution where range limits are "ordered", but this way "4-1" is equivalent to "1-4" and produces "1,2,3,4" which is not the original "4,3,2,1"... --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 17:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

:The task assumes that it gets correctly formatted ranges that expand to an ''increasing'' series of different integers. I know that this most likely would not be the case 'in the real world', but we just need to have comparable examples.
