> The @Future and @Past annotations do not offer a way to include the current date in the range, operating under the pretense of an exclusive boundary condition. The current date is often needed in the range. For instance, a registration date can be today or any time in the future. You might have recorded an observation today or any time in the past.
> My suggestion is to add an attribute named "inclusive" which implies that the current date is included.
> @Future(inclusive = true)
> @Past(inclusive = true)
> Feel free to use another name for the attribute. The default, of course, is false for backwards compatibility.
