[gdal-dev] GDAL CLI feature request

[Scott]

When specifying bands from a raster, say:

gdal raster pipeline ! ... ! select -b "1,2,3,4,12,13,14,15,20,21" ! ...

It would be *nice* to be able to use a range of bands, perhaps with 
individual bands mixed in. Something like:

-b "1-4,12-15,20,21" ...

This would be hugely useful for calc and pixel functions in mosaic with 
the forthcoming --flatten switch in 3.12. Calc might look like:

-i A=input.tif --calc="max(A[1-4,12-15,20,21])"

Often you need to pull a large number of bands out of a netcdf or tif 
and it's always been a pain.

Also, nit-picky doc issue. The following --nodata paragraph is missing 
the magic words, "Added in version 3.12":

Thanks!
