As a homework, try to parse "at least until" and "goes beyond" and compare
the two (a dictionary is not necessarily of help with this :)

"range is least 0..65535" : upper_bound >= 65535
"goes beyond 65535" : upper_bound > 65535

For some discussions (like how to represent code points etc) this
distinction is crucial.
