Looks like among() has proven its worth since we introduced it. Now I 
somehow forgot between() didn't make it, and reviewed some code at work 
assuming it exists! Here's the original and proposed in a couple of 
snippets:

return (path.asPath.logicalLength() <= asPathLengths_[1] &&
             path.asPath.logicalLength() >= asPathLengths_[0]);

=>

return path.asPath.logicalLength.between(asPathLengths_[0], 
asPathLengths_[1]);

====

if (prefix.prefixLen > prefixLenRange_[1] ||
         prefix.prefixLen < prefixLenRange_[0]) {

=>

if (!prefix.prefixLen.between(prefixLenRange_[0], prefixLenRange_[1])) {

====

Well?
