Hello,
I have a question about the use-case for org-evaluate-time-range,
because for what I would use it for, its behavior seems
counter-intuitive. Consider a time range:
<2011-08-12 Fri>--<2011-08-14 Sun>
Calling org-evaluate-time-range on this range reports 2 days, but for
situations when I would use time ranges, I would have expected an
_inclusive_ count of 3 days. The span represented from a friday through
a sunday is indeed a span of 3 days.
Can anyone explain the logic behind the current behavior? Thank you.
I'm using org version 6.33x.

Timestamps with no time are considered to be at midnight (00:00)
So Midnight Friday to Midnight Sunday is 48 hours.
