The Simple Development Library (http://simpledevlib.sourceforge.net/)
provides a command line processor which allows ranged numerical
arguments among other goodies.

You would declare a program as having an option -range as follows:
   -range -type integer-range -description {a range of numbers}
and use it from the command line like this:
   foo.tcl -range 1:9,11,13,19
