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.
I find it not very descriptive of what the function does. Is there one
you like second best? Or are you convinced they're all much much much
worse than "inclusive" that they shouldn't be considered?
