I'm trying to do something that should be very easy to do, and yet I
can't remember how to do it, and I'm asking for help.
I have an alpha-numeric, sorted file, that looks like this:
I'm trying to remember what BASH utility, script, or? command would flag
the missing value (in this case, "01AD").
Of course, the hard part is doing it without materializing the list of

expansions in bash and with bc, which can do base 36 math to calculate
the next expected value.
