This is useful to naïvely represent some grammar productions
(e.g. IPv6address from RFC 3986):

IPv6address /= [ *2( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 2( h16 ":" ) ls32

turns to

 tuple((
-    opt(tuple((many_m_n(0, 2, tuple((h16, char(':')))), h16))),
+    separated_list_m_n(0, 3, char(':'), h16),
     tag("::"),
     many_m_n(2, 2, tuple((h16, char(':')))),
     ls32,
 ))

(e.g. `IPv6address` from [RFC 3986]):

```abnf
IPv6address /= [ *2( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 2( h16 ":" ) ls32

Now that #1608 is merged I think it would be better to implement the proper range syntax instead of adding yet another variant for a specific format. Geal has already mentioned seperated_list as a candidate in #1613, so this variant would be made redundant soon anyway.
