No problem. Sometimes a fresh perspective helps to illuminate things.

You kind of blew my mind, there. I tried to respond twice and each
time I determined that there was a way around what I was about to call
crazy.

In the end, I'm now questioning the difference between a junction and
a Range... which is not where I thought this would go. Good question,
though I should point out that you could never reasonably listify a
range constructed from a regex because "reversing" a regex like that
immediately runs into some awful edge cases. Still, interesting stuff.
