New description:

 This one is a matter of interpretation, and it could be argued that the
 current behaviour is correct but for the sake of simplicity for the
 average user I think it needs changing.

 If you specify a date range with the 'is between' criteria, it only
 returns matches which fall within, but not including those dates.

 e.g. is between "$DATE - 7 days and $DATE" the results returned exclude
 'today'. If you want to include 'today' you have to change the date to
 point to the future i.e. 'tomorrow' $DATE + 1.

 I think it's more intuitive if the ranges specified are inclusive.
