Yank text between marks including last character

I use the following to yank text from mark a up to mark b in register r :

 `a"ry`b

It excludes the character on the position of mark b. Example :

1234500000
^   ^
a   b

I get 1234 in register r.

I would like to include the character at mark b position when I yank. So I would like to get 12345 in register r.

How would I do it ? (I would like to avoid positioning b to the next 0)

Another easy way is to just add v right after y, no setting or Visual mode selection necessary.

`a"ryv`b

y`b yanks to mark b excluding the character under mark b, whereas yv`b yanks to mark b including the character under it.

See :h o_v for more info.

Easiest would probably be to visually select the region before doing the yank.

`av`b"ry

The selection setting should also be set to inclusive. (set selection? should return selection=inclusive (which is the default)). If it is set to exclusive you would need to move the cursor the left one after selecting the visual section.

`av`bl"ry
