 would think the opposite simply because i eschew obfuscation in all forms
(see that's a joke because instead of saying 'avoiding making syntax so
onfused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand' i said
schew obfuscation?  ok, it's a English teacher's joke anyway....)

es I would think, if such an operator were to be introduced to Pick BASIC,
hat Between should be exclusive which is how the UniQuery Between (only for
nidata sorry Universe people) works today.  "Between 2 and 4" means only 3,
ot 2 and not 4.

s between inclusive or exclusive?
n other words wouldn't it be written 'between 10 and 19' for values 10 from
 instead of 'between 9 and 20' for 10 to 19? 
akes more sense if it's inclusive, imho i've only seen BETWEEN used in
niquery before so.....

he point is that rather than the cumbersome way we have always written the
 LE statement, there might be a better way... that makes readability etter
nd will take you 3425.6 man hours to implement throughout your ystem..
