:''"For real-life applications it is better to use the notation -9..-4"''
True. if I were doing this for real then I would have liked to use a different range indication character, but, as in so many things, I modified/simplified an [http://www-cecpv.u-strasbg.fr/Documentations/lsf/html/lsf6.1_admin/G_jobarrays.html#32777 existing format that used dashes], to allow negative numbers - hence the compromise. (On seeing how easy it was to parse I left it in).
