Would that vary between range types? In other words, do I bring back
default_flags?

If not, I think a lot of people will object. The most common use-case
for range types are for continuous ranges like timestamps. And (as I
pointed out in reply to Florian) there are good reasons to use the '[)'
convention for those cases.
