it's only missing one detail: the first character is used to destinguish 
between a "job-id" and a "job-name", as several commands like `qdel 
<wc_job_range_list>` or options like `qsub -hold_jid <wc_job_list> ...` accept 
both.

Sure, it's worth to be mentioned somewhere: neither "job-id" nor "job-name" is 
defined in sge_types(1) but used therein for "wc_job".

Another way could be to define that at least one non-numeric character in a 
"wc_job" specification at any position makes it a "job-name".
