Agreed.  

We're also not going to be writing an operating system with them; just simple version range statement.

I think that the range expression:

	2.5:2.7

is easy to read, immediately understandable, and expresses everything that needs to be said.

Yes, it needs to be stated that the ends are inclusive, but after that, it's pretty obvious what it means at a glance
