With brace expansion, is there a way to combine the comma and .. forms?

For instance, I get

qaa% echo foo{1..3,5..7}
foo1..3 foo5..7

while I would want

foo1 foo2 foo3 foo5 foo6 foo7


... like what the following does:

qaa% echo foo{{1..3},{5..7}}
foo1 foo2 foo3 foo5 foo6 foo7

But I would like to avoid the extra braces.


Within the same expansion, no. just like you can't combine different forms
of parameter expansions without nesting. eg: ${name:=word##prefix}.
