Ledger users are used to it, but yes, of course you're right. That's why John
suggested maybe adding support for specifying/showing inclusive end dates as
well. This has some costs, eg more complexity. It's awaiting someone motivated
to do the work. The first step is to come up with a specification I think.
Linguistically, it would be better to make “to” and “until" include the
terminal date, and use “before” to exclude the end date.
So these would be equivalent:
--period 'from 2015/04/01 to 2016/03/31’
--period ’since 2015/04/01 until 2016/03/31’
--period 'from 2015/04/01 before 2016/04/01’
Might be a bit too subtle/arguable..
We could also allow dates to have a suffix: inclusive/exclusive,
incl/excl, i/e or similar:
-p '2015/04/01 to 2016/03/31incl'
-p '2015/04/01 to 2016/03/31i'
-p '2015/04/01 to 2016/03/31e' # redundant
-e 2016/03/31e
-p '2015/04/01e to 2016/03/31' # weird
-p '2015/04/01e' # wouldn't make sense
-p '2015 to 2016i' # includes all of 2016 ?
