From 1afe13b98a9865c012daffca5d0ac56aced318fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Oakley Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 08:07:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: revisions - clarify reachability examples For the r1..r2 case, the exclusion of r1, rather than inclusion of r2, would be the unexpected case in natural language for a simple linear development, i.e. start..end excludes start.
