/*
 * A page range is a list of page numbers used to restrict operations to
 * certain pages. A page specification is a textual description of a page
 * range, such as "1-12,18-end". Here is the syntax:
 *
 * o A range must contain no spaces.
 *
 * o A dash (-) defines ranges, e.g. 1-5 or 6-3.
 *
 * o A comma (,) allows one to specify several ranges, e.g. 1-2,4-5.
 *
 * o The word end represents the last page number.
 *
 * o The words odd and even can be used in place of or at the end of a page
 * range to restrict to just the odd or even pages.
 *
 * o The words portrait and landscape can be used in place of or at the end of
 * a page range to restrict to just those pages which are portrait or
 * landscape. Note that the meaning of "portrait" and "landscape" does not
 * take account of any viewing rotation in place (use cpdf_upright first, if
 * required). A page with equal width and height is considered neither
 * portrait nor landscape.
 *
 * o The word reverse is the same as end-1.
 *
 * o The word all is the same as 1-end.
 *
 * o A tilde (~) defines a page number counting from the end of the document
 * rather than the beginning. Page ~1 is the last page, ~2 the penultimate
 * page etc.
