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 https://www.thefreedictionary.com/List-of-prepositions.htm - 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?
Right, I don't think any are sufficiently descriptive. "Incluisve" with two arguments seems unambiguous and complete to me. :) -- Kees Cook
