Assuming one defines the field to be [low,high].
Another legitimate definition, within a localized context such
as intermediates used to produce some final result, is [low,high).
I'm sure there are other contexts where such a definition is legitimate.

Such a field can also be written, setting aside bit numbering issues, [2,3).
