From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

The get command on intervals provide partial matches such as subranges
for usability reasons. However, an open interval has no closing end
element. If the closing element matches within the range of the open
internal, ie. its closest match is the start element of the open range,
then, return 0 but offer no matching element to userspace through
netlink as a special case. Userspace provides at least a matching start
element in this case and the closing end element matching the open
interal is ignored.

Another possibility is to report the matching start element of the open
interval for this end interval. However, this results in duplicated
matching being listed in userspace because userspace does not expect a
start element as response to a end element.
