[Spce-user] How to add thousands of Alias Numbers to a subscriber

I'm entirely onboard with aliases being explicit e164 numbers. However,
my thought is that the entry and display of those explicit numbers could
be made easier.
Perhaps the web GUI could prompt for a range of numbers (First Alias: 1
200 2001200, Range: 24), then, in the background, ngcp would insert 24
explicit, contiguous numbers into the database starting with 1 200 2001200.
In regards to displaying the explicit numbers in the Web GUI, there
could be two options:
1. Leave it as it is (display one number per line)
2. Do some extra processing on the numbers after pulling the explicit
numbers from the database, then display contiguous numbers as a range.
Our particular use case has us adding and removing PBX subscribers with
hundreds of DID's on a regular basis.
