Comment:

 * documentation is missing for {{{[}}} to indicate closed intervals
   * documentation in synatx of a range entry is relagated to appendix
   * the docs say that a description of a range is optional, yet this
 triggers a warning when used
   * the documentation does not mention the use of a stride for reals
   * the documentation says one can use C like postfixes "f" and "l" for
 float and long double values, however the {{{$real}}} regex in
 parameter_parser.pl will not allow this (but does incorrectly accept
 Fortran style {{{D}}} instead of {{{E}}} for the exponent.
   * parameter_parser.pl will not accept {{{[}}} or {{{(}}} for INT
 paramters yet the C code does
   * the documentation (and the C code) indicate that "1::2" should indeed
 be acceptable ranges, yet the parser aborts since it takes the first
 {{{::}}} to separate range and description.
