        Arguments:
            field (str): The field to check for the value.
                    The field must be namespaced according to Elasticsearch rules
                    using the dot syntax.

                    of the ``mdf`` dictionary.
            start (str or int): The starting value, or ``None`` for no lower bound.
                    **Default:** ``None``.
            stop (str or int): The ending value, or ``None`` for no upper bound.
                    **Default:** ``None``.
            inclusive (bool): If ``True``, the ``start`` and ``stop`` values will be excluded

                    **Default:** ``True``.
            new_group (bool): If ``True``, will separate the term into a new parenthetical group.
