It seems quite unexpected behavior, but yes I can do range checking. And agree w/Alex this behavior should be documented.
- *Feature Request: allow a [clone] instance to know the totalnumber of

Well, I don't think everyone did agree.
[clone -n foo 20] takes the same number of chars as [clone foo 20 20] and needs more brain power to parse ("what was that '-n' flag for again?"). the other solutions require much extra work both for the implementation of the feature and for using it, making it more likely to introduce bugs.
Well, I understand. But maybe there is a simple solution no one has dreamed up. I'd prefer to leave this one open, but the wrapper solution proposed by (??) seems like that may work for my purposes.
