If you treat the indices as between elements and include all elements that are between the start and end elements, there is only one reasonable choice. It would be more "special" to include elements that are outside of the specified range (i.e., the element to the right of the final index).

Yeah, but I think that orclev was saying that you have a rule at the beginning that the element to the right of the index is important and then in ranges, the element to the right of the index is know longer important.

One way or the other, someone needs to know the same number of rules in order to understand how the indices work.
