The current CSL spec (and thus Brecht's implementation in -py) is incorrect
according to the current CMoS.
Here are three examples from the relevant chapter (9.60)
1496–500
11564–615
12991–3001
i.e. even when only one digit stays the same, only the changing digits are
displayed after the en-dash.
Since we call this rule "Chicago" we should change this in the specs (and
implementers should change this accordingly).
According to the manual, these rules have never changed, so we must have
gotten that wrong at some point. Sorry for never catching that.
