Module for simple closed intervals over arbitrary types that are ordered correctly using polymorphic compare.
map t ~f returns create (f l) (f u) if bounds t = Some (l, u), and empty if
t is empty. Note that if f l > f u, the result of map is empty, by the
definition of create.
If one thinks of an interval as a set of points, rather than a pair of its bounds,
then map is not the same as the usual mathematical notion of mapping f over that
set. For example, ~f:(fun x -> x * x) maps the interval
[-1,1]
to
[1,1]
, not to
[0,1]
.
are_disjoint ts returns true iff the intervals in ts are pairwise disjoint.
Returns true iff a given set of intervals would be disjoint if considered as open intervals. i.e., (3,4) and (4,5) would count as disjoint.
