I'm completing code changes and testing necessary to support an expanded textual representation of CPU affinities. Specifically, CPU affinities where two or more consecutive processors are selected can be represented by A-B (A through B).
Processors "0;1;2;3;4" could be represented as the range "0-4".
Processors "0;2;3;4" could be represented by "0;2-4"
Processors "0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7" would be "0-7".
Ordering isn't important, so that "2-4;0" is as valid as "0;2-4".
This will be available in v6.5.0.23 beta and later. All CPU affinities throughout the product will support this range syntax, and CPU affinities emitted in text by the product will also follow this format.

A very clever improvement, I believe that people having more than 8 cores will find it useful, as well as extended 64-bit CPU affinity bitmask support. 8)

Did you also means 8 core, 16 threads. ;D
Thanks! Truth be told, I need to also allow a bitmask representation. I'll work on that next (after this next final version).
