Hi, You're right, Phil. Support for beta is [0, 1] and not (0, 1) as stated on Wikipedia. As you mention, support for continuous distributions is closed, hence the corresponding isInclusive-functions can be discussed. I thought about it being useful for infinity, but we could let users deal with this themselves?
