Description

CLDR supports range patterns under miscPatterns and are very useful for formatting ranges of numbers (e.g. 5–10), with each number formatted appropriately as well as the range itself.

Research direction
Review CLDR spec for range patterns under miscPatterns (http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35 numbers.html#Miscellaneous Patterns). Examine Globalize's number formatting module (likely in src/number.js). Consider adding a new method like .formatNumberRange() or extending existing .formatNumber(). Check for existing PRs or discussions in the repository.
