Try it. ;)  Works for me.

If you're doing 1.2.3.0/24, then you can avoid net/broadcast by using
1.2.3.1-254

Admittingly, it would be cool to have a switch to bypass broadcast/net
addresses, but that's extra calculation to figure out (what's the
broadcast/net of the nmap input address of 1.2.3.4-8?)
