Silly me. No need for gawk's regexp RS as the ‘42\nprivate’ which
arrives with just the POSIX RS=' ' always has something to discard after
the linefeed so there's no need to split it off into its own record.
Thus, the above simplifies further, with the coercing of $1, into
mark -list -seq public -seq private -seq notexist |
awk -v RS=' ' -F - '
$0+0 {u = NF==2 ? $2 : $1; for (n = $1+0; n <= u; n++) print n}
'
