I'm a bit hesitant to keep adding more and more page range formats.

My gut feeling is that it's better to have separate definitions of
range formatting for dates and all other numbers, so that they can be
configured separately. Volume, issue, and series number ranges don't
come up very often (in practice and in citation manuals), so we
haven't really thought about whether the page-range-format should
affect them.
