Filters recognize four types of sets. Sets are similar to strings: you can pass them around but you can't modify them. Literals of type <cf>int set</cf> look like <cf> [ 1, 2, 5..7 ]</cf>. As you can see, both simple values and ranges are permitted in - sets. For pair sets, expressions like <cf/(123,*)/ can be used to denote ranges (in + sets. + For pair sets, expressions like <cf/(123,*)/ can be used to denote ranges (in that case <cf/(123,0)..(123,65535)/). You can also use <cf/(123,5..100/ for range <cf/(123,5)..(123,100)/. + You can also use expressions for both, pair sets and int sets.
