For the physical "limit the range" interpretation, I was thinking that the GM just rules that Melee spells in fact have a range of, say, two or three inches, not zero. Not long enough to reach to the next hex or through walls -- or battleships -- and probably not with parries with anything longer than a dagger; long enough to get through reasonable humanoid armor and shields if you could actually touch their outer surface.
