--- Comment #6 from Ulf Zibis <Ulf.Zibis at gmx.de> ---
I would like:
1. Separators:       ',' ';'
2. Range specifiers: '-' ':'
3. Allow half defined ranges
4. Also allow space as separator, but only if directly surrounded by numbers,
otherwise ignore it. This is, because space is commonly used as separator or
just after ',' or ';', but maybe don't officially mention space as separator in
the short tooltip.

Examples:
1:3 5     print pages 1, 2, 3, 5
1,3 5     print pages 1, 3, 5
1 3-5     print pages 1, 3, 4, 5
1 3 5     print pages 1, 3, 5
1, 3, 5   print pages 1, 3, 5    (ignore spaces)
1 3 - 5   print pages 1, 3, 4, 5 (ignore spaces except 1st)
1  3;5    print pages 1, 3, 5    (ignore first space, so the 2nd remains
surrounded by numbers)
 -3       print pages 1, 2, 3    (ignore first space, start range at 1)
1 ; 3 -   print pages 1, 3, ...  (ignore spaces, complete range up to last
page)

Main rule: If the definition seems semantically ambiguous, never waste paper
for possibly unwanted pages. the user can always do a 2nd run if pages are
missing.
