Yeah, I also wondered if that would be useful. In case it is, we could
pass a dict argument with the range.
{'bufnr': bufnr('%'), 'start': 2, 'end': line('$') - 1}
Leaving out "start" would mean the first line.
Leaving out "end" would mean the last line.
This is more complicated to implement, and it's already possible to use
a list from getline(), thus I would not do it unless one can give an
example of where this would actually be used.
