I seem to have told you that I didn't want to have that thing in the
core :-)

You keep adding those "wrappers" which basically just do prototype
adaptation and in this case a bit of cropping, with a name that is
utterly confusing as to what their intent is.

I might have accepted that one if you had called it something like
lmb_find_in_range() which at least -means- something.

Cheers,
Ben.
