To me, the above sample looks "right"... It is a test that "x is
outside" the range 0..10, so surrounding the range with "x" gives that
visual impression.
While the "0 or 10" may be less pleasing than the "x is inside" a range
(0 < x < 10), if one did not have chained expressions the latter would
become "0 < x and x < 10".
