(1 2 3 4)

lrange start :optional end step

Creates a lazy sequence of numbers starting from start,
increasing by step (default 1), to the maximum value that
doesn’t exceed end.

5 doesn't exceed 5, so (according to this spec.) 5 should be printed.

The correct English should be...

to the maximum value that is less than [end].

up to (and not including) the maximum value [end].
