+The commands @code{info inferiors} and @code{info connections}, which will be
+introduced below, accept a space-separated @dfn{ID list} as their argument
+specifying one or more elements on which to operate. A list element can be
+either a single non-negative number, like @samp{5}, or an ascending range of
+such numbers, like @samp{5-7}. A list can consist of any combination of such
+elements, even duplicates or overlapping ranges are valid. E.g.@:
