I don't have time to look at this in detail right now, but there
is an important asymmetry in these bounds:
lower bounds are closed, upper bounds are open.

If this were a regular range index, you would also get
results for everything less than the lowest bound and
everything greater than or equal to the upper bound.
That's true for geo as well, but harder to wrap your
brain around.

Poles are special case code everywhere, so it is
possible there is an improperly handled edge case
here. (If I can talk about "edge" in the context of
a surface with no edges...)
