ClickTest has a special syntax for numeric ranges. These can be expressed
using one of three formats:
{{~ 5 \- 15}} : allow integers from 5 to 15 (inclusive)
{{~ 100 +\- 5}} : allow integers from 95 to 105 (inclusive)
{{~ 100 +\- 5%}} : allow integers approximately 5% from 100
.Sp
To make these accept floating point numbers, add a '.'. For example:
{{~ 5.0 \- 15}} : also accepts 5., 6.5, 15.000
{{~ 100 +\- 5.0%}}: also accepts 100.125

Numeric ranges may be embedded inside regular expressions or used 'bare'.
