   inclusive.

   While processing a range, this fuction is called iteratively;
   At each call it will return the next value in the range.

   At the beginning of parsing a range, the char pointer PP will
   be advanced past <number1> and left pointing at the '-' token.
   Subsequent calls will not advance the pointer until the range
   is completed.  The call that completes the range will advance
   pointer PP past <number2>.  */
