That was a copy and paste from one of the four other man
pages that has "thru".  I'll change them all to "to", though
my American English upbringing might suggest "through".

My Pedantic English upbringing points out that "this to that"
isn't clear about whether the endpoints are included, but "this
through that" includes the endpoints.  (Mathematicians, the ultimate
pendants, refer to the distinction as open or closed intervals).
