Half-open and inclusive range endpoints in itera ab and intra.

# =============================================================================
# ‥ — Half-open and inclusive range endpoints in itera ab and intra.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Exclusive ranges — `‥` (two dots) creates half-open ranges: start inclusive, end exclusive.
#   • Inclusive ranges — `…` (three dots) creates inclusive ranges: both endpoints included.
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Confusing ‥ (exclusive range) with … (inclusive range) — off-by-one errors are the most common range bug.
#
# See also: ‥, …, ante, usque, intra
