That's not a workable solution for a serious animation project. One would
have a fixed number of final frames in the project and might want to look
at various different subsets as one tweaks different parts of the story.
Looking up and remembering the +KXYZ  switches, and retyping 3 to 4 of them
by hand for EVERY TEST RENDER is just so incredibly user-unfriendly.
