Handling a range should't be too tough - perhaps like this
#pragma start [count]
where count is assumed to be 1 if not present
// reserve location 1
#pragma 1
// reserve locations 5,6 and 7
#pragma 5 3
---
The alternative would be
#pragma start [end]
where end is assumed to be equal to start
#pragma 1
#pragma 5 7
---
One thing I'm not going to do is all that range stuff assemblers
typically handle in a move-multiple instruction...
#pragma 1-3,5,7-10
Lots of extra parsing work for me for what in the end will probably
never be used!
