One thing that can be quite surprising I think is when someones defines c=a:b
(with a<=b), and then some code that assumes c(end) <= b. The current behavior
means that such code is not correct.

Regarding the note about 1.8 : 0.05 : 1.9 it's a bit odd since 1.8 + 0.05 +
0.05 gives a value larger than 1.9 anyway.
