It seems strange to have a shortcut for 0..$n-1 but no shortcut for 0..$n.
IMHO the former is much more useful and common. Mathematically (say, in combinatorics or however dealing with integers) when I happen to have to do with a set of $n elements chances are to a large extent that it is either 0..$n or 1..$n; 0..$n may lead to confusion since it it actually has $n+1 elements.

Good choice. One would never want to go through the same thing again for a divorce. Better than rings and vows. - David Kastrup in comp.text.tex, "Re: Simple Wedding Invitations in LaTeX2e"
