> Yes, the de-facto behavior is actually "at or around point".

Around only in the sense of something looser than at.
Not around in the sense of before and after.

To be exact, the current behavior is "at point or at point
minus one".  It is not "at point or at point plus or minus one".

It does not test a _single_ position.
