Formatting numeric/quantity ranges

[TiemenSch]

Have you thought of implementing range formatting like unify does for numeric and quantity ranges?

Hi @TiemenSch ,

I did think of it but I'm not certain of the benefit: typing numrange and then two arguments is no shorter than typing num twice, each with one argument. Additionally, there is a lot of room for ambiguity when the unit is not repeated or when a dash is used for the word "to".

More importantly, Zero has more features than unify that might interfere with this, for example the table formatting.

Anyway, I will think about it again when Typst introduces support for custom types and I adopt them for the zero package (because this might interfere with a potential range feature).

Thanks for reaching out! Custom types would indeed be huge. Here's to hoping they come up with a nice type system soon.
