It's on my queue to document the "disable display" change.
Of course, if someone wants to do that for me, I certainly
don't mind.

"thread apply" has blurb mentioning ranges like that:

 It can be a single thread number, one of the numbers
 shown in the first field of the @samp{info threads} display; or it
 could be a range of thread numbers, as in @code{2-4}.

That looks pretty clear to me.  I was thinking on borrowing it.
Or were you thinking of something more detailed?
