I know you think it's prettier to have zeroes and extra spaces like this:

[0xe7000000 - 0xe8000000, 0x1000000 bytes]

rather than a bunch of 'F's:

[0xe7000000-0xe7ffffff]

But for the record, I still think you're wrong and that it's better
to be consistent even if it's slightly uglier. The inconsistencies
lead to confusion and off-by-one errors.
