You're defending a class of people that doesn't exist: smart programmers
who are bad at math and somehow missed out on interval notation, and who
now are attempting to use color.el.  There may be one in the world, I
guess...

But I will point out that the same arguments can be made in mirror form
against using an English description of the interval because smart
programmers may be bad at English.  In fact that's a more likely
scenario.
