When you're stuck unable to boot and need to clean up timeshift backups via CLI (or walk someone through it remotely...) there's no autocomplete for the timestamps, so they're fairly arduous to delete one-by-one. Especially if you want to delete all except one so that you still have an actual backup...
Describe the solution you'd like
That timeshift --delete-nums 1-5,7 deletes the snapshots numbered 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 (as numbered in the output from timeshift --list).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Just supporting this on --delete.
