When I said inconsistent I was agreeing with walter previously stated 
that it has a very different meaning. Because between the case and 
colons there is the double dot previously just used in range's start and 
1 past endpoint.

In case range we include the endpoint.

We just now have an extra verbose syntax that would be great for 
minimizing ambiguity but instead is getting used to minimize inconsistency.
