Maybe just pass in a 'struct range' to be filled out instead of start/end?

I think at least for me, it's better to have the introduction of helper functions to be with the code where it gets called to provide the full picture and thus make a better review. Especially if the function is fairly small. So maybe squash this patch and the next one. There may be a few other situations like this in this series worth the same consideration.
