module ActiveSupport::CompareWithRange

def include?(value)

The given range must be fully bounded, with both start and end.

(5..9).include?(11) # => false
('a'..'f').include?('c') # => true
The native Range#include? behavior is untouched.

(1..5).include?(2..6) # => false
(1..5).include?(1...6) # => true
(1..5).include?(2..3) # => true
(1..5).include?(1..5) # => true
Extends the default Range#include? to support range comparisons.
