I was confused by the documentation for sympy.concrete.summations.Sum
because it has a long section that uses an exclusive upper bound, but this
is not SymPy's style.
It could be improved with a very small change. If the first 4 examples use
SymPy's style
\sum_{i = m}^{n - 1}
instead of Karr's style
\sum_{m \leq i < n}
then all the text can stay the same. This would be much clearer for people
like me who want to understand SymPy, while still being clear for people
who understand Karr's summation convention.
Text before the 5th example can then be simplified:
"Note that Karr defines all sums with the upper limit being exclusive, but
this does not affect the summation convention. Indeed we have:"
Similar improvements for sympy.concrete.products.Product.

PS This was reported before but no-one suggested a solution.
