I was just asking, because in the 0.3.6, specification of from/to dimension is allowed in non-interleaved data, but currently you have to insert two numbers in [] instead of one. E.g.

data from to bearing clino tape up down left right
     10   11     123   -10   20  4   5  [8 6] [2 4]

where [8 6] means, that left wall is 8 meters from station 10 and 6 metres from station 11. There is possibility to add different separator than space (e.g. /), therefore I was asking.
