Hello Krzysztof,

Hm .... but then it be rewritten anyway, can't it?

But isn't it a bit counter-intuitive?

If something happens from 7 to 10 I'd understand, that it starts at 7:00
and ends at 9:59.  Same with minutes, if some event should happen from
12:07 to 13:10 I'd understand that it happens first at 12:07:00 and last
at 13:09:59....

Or?
