As noted in #39589 (comment), it could be good to mention this change in NEWS/HISTORY. This adds a HISTORY.md item. I will also make a PR backporting this to the 1.6 NEWS.md file.

Edit: backport PR: #39785

I think it would be best to frame this as a bugfix from the beginning. Phrases like "now always describe" and "is considered a bugfix" risk making it sound like a bit of a dicey change to be making in the middle of a stable release cycle. But bugfixes can always break someone's code (I won't bother to link the obligatory xkcd on the topic). But it's just a bugfix, pure and simple, no excuses needed.

This just makes it consistent with how similar et al behave: integers are interpreted like sizes and thus like 1-based ranges. We had a bug where this didn't hold, and now we've fixed it.
