NAME
  lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list

SYNOPSIS
  lrange list first last

DESCRIPTION
  List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a new list
  consisting of elements first through last, inclusive. First or last may
  be end (or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element of the
  list. If first is less than zero, it is treated as if it were zero. If
  last is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list,
  then it is treated as if it were end. If first is greater than last then
  an empty string is returned. Note: "lrangelist first first" does not
  always produce the same result as "lindexlist first" (although it often
  does for simple fields that aren't enclosed in braces); it does,
  however, produce exactly the same results as "list [lindexlist first]"

EXAMPLE
  % set x {ABC DEF {GHI JKL} MNO}
  ABC DEF {GHI JKL} MNO

  % lrange $x 1 3
  DEF {GHI JKL} MNO

  % lrange $x 0 1
  ABC DEF
