--
The "default" field of Lua's Pref.range() has no apparent effect. The "range"
field actually serves as the default. (Perhaps the "range" field should be
removed in favor of the "default" field, which is more consistent with the
other preferences.)

Steps:

1. Copy attached Lua dissector to plugins directory and restart Wireshark.

2. Open menu Tools > Lua > Console

3. Open menu Tools > Foo Test

4. Observe that the print out shows the range as "1-100,500", which is the
value of the "range" field instead of the "default" field.
