The In Range and Coerce function is frequently used to determine whether a value is within range of an upper limit and lower limit values.
But when it is out of range, you often also want to know whether the value is out of range too high, or out of range too low. It is easy enough to add a comparison function alongside and compare the original value to the upper limit. It's another primitive and 2 more wire branches. But since comparison is one of the primary purposes of the In Range and Coerce function, why shouldn't it be built into it?
The use case that made me think of this that as come up in my code a few times over the years is with any kind of thermostat type of control, particularly one that would have hysteresis built into it. If a temperature is within range (True), then you would often do nothing. If it is lower than the lower limit, you'd want to turn on a heater. If it is higher than the upper limit, than you'd turn off the heater. (Or the opposite if you are dealing with a chiller.)
Request: Add an additional output to In Range and Coerce that tells whether the out of range condition is higher than the upper limit, or lower than the lower limit.
(That does leave the question as to what should the value of this extra output be when the input value is within range. Perhaps, the output should not be a boolean, but a numeric value of 1, 0, and -1, perhaps an enum.)
