Interface Descriptor

Descriptors are just like idents (including their identHash), except that they also contain a range and an additional comparator hash.

Use parseRange to turn a descriptor string into this data structure, makeDescriptor to create a new one from an ident and a range, or stringifyDescriptor to generate a string representation of it.
