Description

There are some use cases where it is helpful to fetch a range of bytes. We should allow users and pipesiterators to specify a rangeStart and rangeEnd in the fetchkey.

I do not propose handling multiple ranges as you can in an http range fetch...just a single range per fetch key.

Obviously, these will only work with fetchers that implement RangeFetcher.
