2) What to call it:
   - between I still like, because it mirrors "I'm thinking of a number
     between 1 and 10 and..." that everybody knows,
   - inclusive I guess works, but it's not a preposition,
   - bikeshed color #3?
- between
- ranged
- spanning

- amid

Sigh, names.
I think "inclusive" is best. The other words still don't provide
unambiguous language. It's the language used in formal math, e.g.
sigma-notation, etc. It's an adjective for "get random" (verb, noun).
