- I just discovered the intuitive way to generate numbers is with the 
   range operator, it appears *this is limited to 9,999* But we do now have 
   the add operator
   - Perhaps if we do use a filter to list numbers we should first indicate 
   the number that will be listed (count) so before you hit a button you can 
   decide if you are happy for it to display a large number of items.
