["Benedikt Ritter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13868777#comment-13868777 ] 

Benedikt Ritter commented on LANG-900:
--------------------------------------

Very nice patch. I'm currently wondering if it may make sense to incorporate {{org.apache.commons.lang3.Range}} as possible parameter for the nextXxx Methods that take a range. The problem may be, that the Range class uses inclusive bounds and the nextXxx methods take in inclusive lower and and exclusive upper bound. WDYT?
