Hi Jeff,

I will try to clarify, what IMHO really happened here. Sets behaviour was
inconsistent and Phil's patch just fixed this.

So for now this is fixed. But yes, it can be problematic for some people who
misused this inconsistency in their own ruleset. And for such cases (not only
for them) I proposed to introduce automerge flag. Which should not be hard to
implement and very easy to use in rulesets which require it.

And if I read it right, Phil in his patch states that overlapping ranges are
not allowed if merging is turned off, but so far no mechanism for turning on
automerge exists. So maybe if someone would ask Phil nicely, he would implement
automerge flag and everybody would be happy ;)
