6.A:   /, |, ! as there are in 2LC.
6.B:   *, +, ? are non-counting
6.C:   No DISTINCT
6.D:   No {} forms: {n}, {n,m}, {n,}, {,m}

Option 6 also removes the {} forms.

+ Leaves the syntax open for the future
      e.g. {*}, {?length}, {?length>5}
+ {n,} is currently defined depending on *
+ {n,m} for large m-n, has the similar computability issues (WM-1)
