Aha. I got confused since you were talking about the output too and
I'm mainly focusing onto that to argue.
Anyway I see what you mean though, I can't think of any use case one
wants to query so much chunks of the range of the code point like
base-85 compressed string as you explain for the example. in that case
using 'lang' sounds better than it IMHO.

The idea of '{<code point>...}' looks good anyway though, we may need
to discuss the syntax furthermore.

Please note that that is the sort of the debugging output. I don't
think it's designed to use it as the production or something like
that.
