/**
 * A range (or "interval") defines the <i>boundaries</i> around a contiguous span of values of some
 * {@code Comparable} type; for example, "integers from 1 to 100 inclusive." Note that it is not
 * possible to <i>iterate</i> over these contained values. To do so, pass this range instance and an
 * appropriate {@link DiscreteDomain} to {@link ContiguousSet#create}.
 *
 * <h3>Types of ranges</h3>
 *
 * <p>Each end of the range may be bounded or unbounded. If bounded, there is an associated
 * <i>endpoint</i> value, and the range is considered to be either <i>open</i> (does not include the
 * endpoint) or <i>closed</i> (includes the endpoint) on that side. With three possibilities on each
 * side, this yields nine basic types of ranges, enumerated below. (Notation: a square bracket
 * ({@code [ ]}) indicates that the range is closed on that side; a parenthesis ({@code ( )}) means
 * it is either open or unbounded. The construct {@code {x | statement}} is read "the set of all
 * <i>x</i> such that <i>statement</i>.")
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <table>
 * <caption>Range Types</caption>
 * <tr><th>Notation        <th>Definition               <th>Factory method
 * <tr><td>{@code (a..b)}  <td>{@code {x | a < x < b}}  <td>{@link Range#open open}
 * <tr><td>{@code [a..b]}  <td>{@code {x | a <= x <= b}}<td>{@link Range#closed closed}
 * <tr><td>{@code (a..b]}  <td>{@code {x | a < x <= b}} <td>{@link Range#openClosed openClosed}
 * <tr><td>{@code [a..b)}  <td>{@code {x | a <= x < b}} <td>{@link Range#closedOpen closedOpen}
 * <tr><td>{@code (a..+∞)} <td>{@code {x | x > a}}      <td>{@link Range#greaterThan greaterThan}
 * <tr><td>{@code [a..+∞)} <td>{@code {x | x >= a}}     <td>{@link Range#atLeast atLeast}
 * <tr><td>{@code (-∞..b)} <td>{@code {x | x < b}}      <td>{@link Range#lessThan lessThan}
 * <tr><td>{@code (-∞..b]} <td>{@code {x | x <= b}}     <td>{@link Range#atMost atMost}
 * <tr><td>{@code (-∞..+∞)}<td>{@code {x}}              <td>{@link Range#all all}
 * </table>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>When both endpoints exist, the upper endpoint may not be less than the lower. The endpoints
 * may be equal only if at least one of the bounds is closed:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@code [a..a]} : a singleton range
 *   <li>{@code [a..a); (a..a]} : {@linkplain #isEmpty empty} ranges; also valid
 *   <li>{@code (a..a)} : <b>invalid</b>; an exception will be thrown
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Warnings</h3>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Use immutable value types only, if at all possible. If you must use a mutable type, <b>do
 *       not</b> allow the endpoint instances to mutate after the range is created!
 *   <li>Your value type's comparison method should be {@linkplain Comparable consistent with
 *       equals} if at all possible. Otherwise, be aware that concepts used throughout this
 *       documentation such as "equal", "same", "unique" and so on actually refer to whether {@link
 *       Comparable#compareTo compareTo} returns zero, not whether {@link Object#equals equals}
 *       returns {@code true}.
 *   <li>A class which implements {@code Comparable<UnrelatedType>} is very broken, and will cause
 *       undefined horrible things to happen in {@code Range}. For now, the Range API does not
 *       prevent its use, because this would also rule out all ungenerified (pre-JDK1.5) data types.
 *       <b>This may change in the future.</b>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Other notes</h3>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>All ranges are shallow-immutable.
 *   <li>Instances of this type are obtained using the static factory methods in this class.
 *   <li>Ranges are <i>convex</i>: whenever two values are contained, all values in between them
 *       must also be contained. More formally, for any {@code c1 <= c2 <= c3} of type {@code C},
 *       {@code r.contains(c1) && r.contains(c3)} implies {@code r.contains(c2)}). This means that a
 *       {@code Range<Integer>} can never be used to represent, say, "all <i>prime</i> numbers from
 *       1 to 100."
 *   <li>When evaluated as a {@link Predicate}, a range yields the same result as invoking {@link
 *       #contains}.
 *   <li>Terminology note: a range {@code a} is said to be the <i>maximal</i> range having property
 *       <i>P</i> if, for all ranges {@code b} also having property <i>P</i>, {@code a.encloses(b)}.
 *       Likewise, {@code a} is <i>minimal</i> when {@code b.encloses(a)} for all {@code b} having
 *       property <i>P</i>. See, for example, the definition of {@link #intersection intersection}.
 *   <li>A {@code Range} is serializable if it has no bounds, or if each bound is serializable.
 * </ul>
