Code block snippet lines render blank code block, when it's just the first line 
### Description

When I embed a snippet in a code snippet, restricting the lines to `:1:1`, the code block is rendered empty. This can temporarily be fixed by writing `::1` (which should be equivalent), so it's not urgent or anything, but I thought, you might want to fix that.

### Minimal Reproduction

1. Create the following code block:
```pony
--8<-- "some-code-snippet-file-path.pony:1:1"
```
2. Build your site and check the result for the code block
