   I think it's expected, although do agree the name is a bit confusing. In 
most cases (I think) we want to just iterate over the current and the ancestor 
lineage, having the API return an Iterable which is inclusive makes it easier 
to iterate over (rather than have a variable for the current, and then loop 
over the parent).
   
    If there's a valid use case for excluding the current, perhaps another API 
which accepts a `boolean includeCurrent` could be offered. Then for 
compatibility purpose the original API calls the new API with `includeCurrent = 
true`
