The "range of one" idiom is fairly frequently used, but generally it is
an indication that you want to use the XArray API instead of the IDR API,
which is deprecated in any case.

I've given up tilting at that windmill as I'm more concerned with the
folio work, but it'd be nice if you could convert from IDR to XArray here.
