XRANGE Function

This function returns a RAW containing all valid 1-byte encodings in succession, beginning with the value start_byte and ending with the value end_byte. If start_byte is greater than end_byte, then the succession of resulting bytes begins with start_byte, wraps through 'FF'x to '00'x, and ends at end_byte. If specified, start_byte and end_byte must be single byte RAWs.
