You're right, it's not strictly necessary. I think that the default range being
tnum_range(0, 1) - although necessary for backwards compat - is unintuitive. So
decided to be explicit with existing callbacks so folks didn't have to go
searching for the default to understand what the ret_range is, and it's more
obvious that callback_ret_range should be changed if existing helper code is
reused.
