3.2.2.6.3

In the #range variety, Low_Value and High_Value are floats separated by a  
comma and enclosed in parentheses. If Low_Value <= Switch_Value and  
Switch_Value<=High_Value then the condition is true.

Should perhaps be:
If Low_Value >= Switch_Value

I've found a very effective way of preventing this sort of error is to 
never use > or >=.

A <= B && B <= C means "B is between A and C".

now() < saved() + 15
means if the close is before fifteen minutes after the saved time.

Etc.

Nope :) Perhaps Switch_Value >= Low_Value, sorry it just read wrong to me  
in conjuction with the example which goes:

#range (LOW_1,HIGH_1)
    // This section is parsed if (VALUE>=LOW_1)&(VALUE<=HIGH_1)

  But why? It's the same thing.

Because the text reads Low_Value <= Switch_Value, Switch_Value<=High_Value  
and the example reads the equivalent of Switch_Value >= Low_Value,  
Switch_Value <= High_Value. Yes mathematically they are the same but it's  
not consistent grammatically.
