Then please first define what should likely mean and document that.
That is unrelated to the patch, both in the current trunk, with your
patch as well as with my patch there is just
res.range.likely = res.knownrange ? res.range.max : res.range.min;
res.range.unlikely = res.range.max;
for these cases.
Do you want likely 2 because that the shortest length for more than
one value (only a single value has the shortest length)?
Something else?
