I'm afraid I don't follow the logic here, and it looks awfully
complex.  I came up with something simpler with this:

I would really prefer to fix the range stuff itself instead of
papering over the problem by reducing the reach of the range
invalidation.

Yeah, we lose num==0, which is silly. Hopefully the hack above helps a
bit.

Thanks,
