brace expansion is a shell feature, parted can't support it because it
would imply operating on multiple disks at once :) eg. it is the same as
trying to run:
parted /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde print

which doesn't make sense to parted. And even if it did, the only useful
command would be print. You wouldn't want to run mkpart on multiple
devices at once.
