A few places in [utility.to.chars] and [utility.from.chars] say "minus sign". Should that just be '-' instead? We don't mean the Unicode U+2212 character, for example, and we don't have to worry about wide character versions of '-' here, it's just '-'.

[utility.to.chars] p5 says "the range 10..35 (inclusive)" and "a..z", is that syntax clear enough? Would "the range [10,35]" be better for the former?

@jwakely: And what about the latter, then? "The range [a,z]" ?

Maybe, if that's clear. If everyone else is happy with the ".." notation then that's OK, but I don't think it's something we use or define anywhere else. Is it defined or used in some other ISO standard?

Editorial meeting consensus: First change is good. Second change: don't do, it's good enough and the alternatives are worse.
