Thanks! Applied in three commits to make it easier to review the changes
and to help with merge conflict resolution with other branches. In
addition, I changed the RANGE handling a bit to allow set of BSSes to be
fetched even when not knowing the exact id of the last entry.

While reviewing the changes for the RANGE parameter, I started to think
whether it really is best to use the BSS id here as the value. That
identifier is given a unique number for each BSS and when old entries
are expired, there will be gaps in the sequence of IDs (e.g., the BSS
table could include ids 7, 10, 14-18, 23). It could be simpler to use
the position of the BSS entry where that example would turn into 0-7.
This is similar to the use of "BSS ID-7" and "BSS 0" to fetch the first
entry in this particular example.
