The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition
I wish awk had support for addressing a range of fields, like from $1 to $7. `cut` supports it, FWIW.

You can always loop through the fields, but it’s a little messy, especially for one-liners

Yes, that's an option. The range lookup is an ergonomic feature. Imagne what it would have been like, if we couldn't do foo[-3:] in Python.
