    Ok, thanks for the clarification.  Nigel has a good 
    point though -- I forgot to quote the dots in that regexp!

    
    Would the C-shell's "{,,}" be a useful thing to have instead?
    Less rope to hang oneself with, possibly easier to detect
    in parsing ( [{},] is disjoint from [\d/:\.] ), but could still
    do what I was looking for:
    198.168.{20,21,22,71}.0/24
    which is still clear that these are all subdomains of the
    same thing?  Given that IP addresses are to be treated
    differently from names (which can be regexp'd), maybe
    a different syntax is acceptable.


    Caveat: "feeping creaturism" :-)
