I was looking at what would be appropriate (and perhaps familiar to programmers - double dot is used in Pascal for ranges).  (- or +) may come handy later for other things. And BTW double characters are already there in addresses. 
We could use semicolon(;) (I for some reason do not like it).

So we have 2 proposals:

1) .. (2 votes)
2); (1 vote?)

The tally is on! (untill tomorrow)

                 I would prefer one character. I don't care what it is, any character
will do, but having only one there is slightly easier to parse that
having two.

Dear colleagues,

I suggested using : (colon) to separate values in a range.
Unfortunately :
is overused (in addresses and in names).
I suggest we use the (old) two dots (..) to mark a range.

Comments?
