In case it was unclear, by the "usual last+1 convention", I meant
that it is perfectly normal to write

        for (i = first; i < last; i++)
        for (i = begin; i < end; i++)

in C.  Saying these as

        for (i = first; i < beyond_last; i++)
        for (i = begin; i < beyond_end; i++)

look non-C.
