Do you use them to get arbitrary ranges, or do you use the "channel subset"
version only to extract a single channel at a time?

Drop the range version? The "range" version is begin/end. Or did you mean use
the range notation everywhere?

Ick, I hate to add more functions and pick a less convenient name. Did you see
the response I wrote to John's mail? I proposed that if chend<=chbegin, it
means to read one channel. That would make the "all channels" and "one
channel" case strictly back-compatible. Do you think that would cover enough
cases that it would be ok to change the meaning of those parameters, even
though the type signature has remained the same?
