Any number.
Well, okay, any non-negative integer.
It's a glob operator:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
<[x]-[y]>
Matches any number in the range x to y, inclusive. Either of
the numbers may be omitted to make the range open-ended; hence
`<->' matches any number. To match individual digits, the [...]
form is more efficient.
