I agree with Paul. The only reason to add the methods is to increase
readability.

naming.
For me, the reason for having the extra methods is for readability;
'!a.isAfter(b)' is logically equivalent to 'a.isOnOrBefore(b)' but they read
differently and so can make code easier to understand. If the naming of the
method is "isNotAfter" then I don't see the advantage over using the existing
method with the not operator (!a.isAfter(b)).

Count me as one, and FWIW I like 'isNotBefore' and 'isNotAfter' as
method names.

Hey,
I have to agree, we have introduced similar methods ourselves,
although we call them isNotBefore and isNotAfter. In fact, we use them
more often than isBefore and isAfter.
I have long debated the possible usefulness of these methods. Are there
any other supporters of them?
