This would help users write constraints that are more compact when they want all of a variable. Also, if the start and stop are given, the stride will default to 1 if it is not included. That could also be supported by this change.
This also has a matching ticket in the NASA Jira: HYRAX-461 with parent epic HYRAX-509, and there is a second related ticket that describes bugs in the form here: HYRAX-1070
From HYRAX-461:
Using the start:stride:stop subset notation is not required if the entire variable is being requested. Because this index notation makes it harder to read an understand the URLs, especially when they are URL encoded, we should drop subset notation from the request URL unless an actual subset has been defined by the user.
