+.Sh NUMERIC SEQUENCES
+Numeric sequences of terminals can be represented in a more compact format.
+A matching pair of square bracket may enclose two numbers (the start and
+stop values), separated by a hyphen.
+The numbers are assumed to be decimal, unless prefixed with ``0x'', in which
+case they are interpreted as hexadecimal.
+The number of characters (not including any ``0x'') in the starting value gives
+the minimum width; sequence values are zero padded up to this width.
+Thus ``tty[00-07]'' represents the eight terminals ``tty00'' through ``tty07''.
