Research direction

Start by reading RFC 9682 section 3.2, then trace how CDDL tag definitions are parsed and validated in this repository. Confirm the proposed foo = #6.<1280..1400>(bar) syntax and add coverage showing that non-literal tag numbers are accepted and handled correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This would let us use ranges in place of literal integers in tag definitions:

foo = #6.<1280..1400>(bar)

See: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9682#section-3.2
