If you want to pass a number that is not a line number you need to use
-range=N, where N is the default number.
OK, I added '-range=N' , same thing.
Still doesn't allow large [count]:
command! -range=1 XXX :<count>call XXX ()
function! XXX() range
echo a:firstline | echo a:lastline
endfu
"current buffer has 6 lines
:6XXX " works
:7XXX " E16: Invalid range: :7call XXX ()
