-# If only <num1> ist given, then <num_given> must equal <num1>.
-# Otherwise, <num1>..<num2> is treated as a range and it is checked
-# that <num_given> lies between <num1> and <num2> inclusively.
+# Check that <num_given> is between <num1> and <num2> inclusively.
+# If only <num1> ist given, num2 is assumed to be infinity.

+# Examples:
+# 0 0 no argument allowed
+# 1 1 exactly one argument required
+# 0 2 at most two arguments admissible
+# 2 at least two arguments reqired
