Description

Hi,

First thank you for this great package! :D

I was wondering if there was a way to have range in exponent, e.g. have

\SIrange{e10}{e15}{m}

produces

10¹⁰⁻¹⁵ m

Or something like that. Would be very useful to me!

To be a bit more precise, you could turn this into an option like range-compress-exponents that when they are only exx in the range elements, then show it this way. Or add a new \SIexponentrange{10}{15}{m} (and \numexponentrange{10}{15}).

Is there an easy way for me to do it in my document meanwhile?

On a side note, why is scientific-notation=fixed+fixed-exponent=x required to have the exponent factorized in range and list? Couldn’t it be done whenever all elements have the same exponent?

Thanks in advance,
Bruno
