Comment (by eschnett):

 My suggestions:
 - disallow open/closed specifications for integer ranges (they are not
 necessary, and are confusing)
 - disallow strides for real ranges (they cannot be implemented correctly
 due to round-off, except for integer multiples of powers of 2)
 - disallow {{{1::2}}}, since we don't allow omitting range endpoints in
 any other case either
 - disallow {{{f}}} and {{{l}}} suffixes, since the parser doesn't handle
 them, and we interpret all numbers as {{{CCTK_REAL}}} and {{{CCTK_INT}}}
 anyway
 - continue to accept {{{d}}} for exponents for backward compatibility
 without warning, but advise against it in the documentation
