LIST FORMAT

LIST format is selection[,selection,...] where selection is:

n    # exact n
-n   # -1 is the last, -2 is next to last, ...
n..m # n upto m - both can be negative
n..  # n to end - n can be negative

Field and character selection can be combined.

Character selections separated with ',' are treated as separate fields during output. Ranges with '..' are output as a single string.

The order gets reversed if 'n' is greater than m (affects -c and -f).
