Decide whether gte/gt/lte/lt should take precedence over start/end or ..?

See dominictarr/ltgt#1 for details

Basically there exists a discrepancy between memdown and leveldown where memdown will decide to prefer lte and lt, discarding end if it exists, while leveldown takes the minim of the options. Same would go for gte, gt and start (and the reverse combinations as well).

One of them should be wrong, we need to decide which and implement conformance tests for it here.

That's a fine detail. I would go for lt over end, and gt over start. I would also deprecate start and end.

I'm as well for giving the more specific and easy to grasp options, gte/gt/lte/lt, precedence over start/end.

[dominictarr]

my position is not use start/end if the relavant gt/lt/gte/lte/reverse option is defined.
(start may indicate the high value (lt) if it's reverse=true
