Sorry for my terrible reading comprehension.

I suppose you’re saying that exactly two ‘inclusivities’ suffice: ‘up
to/until’ and 'through' in your case, which makes complete sense.

I have found that both 'up to' and 'until' are still ambiguous, for
instance when trying to agree on a date with someone. This ambiguity might
carry over to the Emacs world, where a user might not know that there is
another distinct inclusivity called 'through'. 'up to' and 'until' can mean
either 'inclusive' or 'exclusive', this seemingly depending on the phase of
the Moon. I still use the words 'inclusive' and 'exclusive' to confirm. I
hope that at least programmers don't find that silly. Of course, there is
an existing precedent of 'up to', 'until', 'through' and 'to'.

Regardless of the naming, wouldn’t an inclusivity modifier over the set of
two inclusivities be a nice thing to have?
