That's an odd definition of "correct". Users are likely to expect
[...] to follow glob/regexp semantics (match a single character from
the set), so "rast[1-100]" should be equivalent to "rast[01]".

I suggest that this is fixed sooner rather than later.

Whether or not leading zeros are required depends upon how the maps
are named. A set which ends at rast99 could start at either rast0 or
rast00; also, it's possible for the user to have two distinct sets
named e.g. rast0 to rast9 and rast00 to rast99.
