Well, I certainly have chosen somewhat wrong name for the method; all I wanted to do is to check whether object is in range. Within or, Between are better ones (I knew about that one Daniel, it's just I prefer ranges over min/max :). I couldn't agree more with your approach to object/group; but conversations like "is 13 between 0 and 59" "is that date between 1.week.ago and 1.week.from_now" sounds reasonable too :) I think I'll add support for ranges to #between? anyway :) Thanks for replies!
