[math-fun] [0, 1] to (0, 1)?

More of an intellectual curiosity question than anything useful. Is there a "nice" function that is one-to-one and continuous that maps the closed interval [0, 1] to the open interval (0, 1)? Ideally, such a "nice" function would be not a piecewise function or a power series and something that could be implemented with standard library functions. If such a thing doesn't exist, is there at least a "not nice" function that is one-to-one and maps the intervals? If not, why not?
