I am not sure if a-b@c-d syntax should be supported. (a-b)@(c-d) is
supported and already working.

It looks like a-b is only planned to use without @

and the usage a-b@c-d, like 1-2@4-5 implies to me:
1 -> 4
2 -> 5

but it doesn't work that way, it is always grouped after @, like it has
parenthesis, what it does is:
1 -> 4,5
2 -> 4,5

Even a-b@c is not working, but as I said if @ will be used, using
grouping seems more proper to me, like:
(a-b)@(c-d)
(a-b)@c

So this is mainly about defining the syntax, more than implementing it.
Somebody know more about syntax can comment better.

Regards,
ferruh
