      [bound] is instantiated in two different ways below: in [module type S] as a
      monotype and in [module type S1] as ['a]. *)

  (** [convex_hull ts] returns an interval whose upper bound is the greatest upper bound
      of the intervals in the list, and whose lower bound is the least lower bound of the
      list.

      Suppose you had three intervals [a], [b], and [c]:

             b:    (     )

      [bound] returns [Some y] where [y] is the element of [t] closest to [x].  I.e.:

      {v
        y = a  if x < a

      [t] is empty.  Note that if [f l > f u], the result of [map] is [empty], by the
      definition of [create].

      If you think 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, [map ~f:(fun x -> x * x)] maps the interval [[-1,1]] to [[1,1]],
      not to [[0,1]]. *)

  (** Returns true iff a given set of intervals would be disjoint if considered as open
      intervals, e.g., [(3,4)] and [(4,5)] would count as disjoint according to this
      function. *)

  (** Assuming that [ilist1] and [ilist2] are lists of disjoint intervals, [list_intersect
      ilist1 ilist2] considers the intersection [(intersect i1 i2)] of every pair of
      intervals [(i1, i2)], with [i1] drawn from [ilist1] and [i2] from [ilist2],
      returning just the non-empty intersections. By construction these intervals will be
      disjoint, too. For example:

      {[
        let i = Interval.create;;
        list_intersect [i 4 7; i 9 15] [i 2 4; i 5 10; i 14 20];;
        [(4, 4), (5, 7), (9, 10), (14, 15)]
      ]}

      Raises an exception if either input list is non-disjoint.
  *)
  val list_intersect : 'a t list -> 'a t list -> 'a t list

  (** Returns true if the intervals, when considered as half-open intervals, nestle up
      cleanly one to the next. I.e., if you sort the intervals by the lower bound,
      then the upper bound of the [n]th interval is equal to the lower bound of the
      [n+1]th interval. The intervals do not need to partition the entire space, they just
      need to partition their union.

(** Module for simple closed intervals over arbitrary types. Used by calling the

    {{!module:Base.Comparable}[Comparable]} (for correctly ordering elements).

    Note that the actual interface for intervals is in
    {{!modtype:Core__.Interval_intf.Gen}[Interval_intf.Gen]}, following a Core pattern of
    defining an interface once in a [Gen] module, then reusing it across monomorphic ([S])
    and polymorphic ([S1], [S2], ... [SN]) variants, where [SN] denotes a signature of N
    parameters. Here, [S1] is included in this module because the signature of one ['a]
    parameter is the default.

  (** {2 Type-specialized intervals}

      bounds are floats.

      Note the heavy use of destructive substitution, which removes the redefined type or
      module from the signature. This allows for clean type constraints in codebases, like
      Core's, where there are lots of types going by the same name (e.g., "t").

  (** [Interval.Make] is a functor that takes a type that you'd like to create intervals for
      and returns a module with functions over intervals of that type.

      For example, suppose you had a [Percent.t] type and wanted to work with intervals over
      it, i.e., inclusive ranges like 40-50% or 0-100%. You would create your
      [Percent_interval] module by calling:

      {[module Percent_interval = Interval.Make(Percent)]}

      You now have a module with lots of functionality ready to use. For instance you could
      call [Percent_interval.empty] to create an empty interval, or:

      {[Percent_interval.create (Percent.of_percentage 3) (Percent.of_percentage 30)]}

      to get an actual interval that ranges from [3%] to [30%]. You can then ask questions
      of this interval, like whether it's a {{!val:is_subset} subset} of another interval or
      whether it {!val:contains} a particular value.

      NB. In order to use the [Interval.Make] functor, your type must satisfy
      Comparable and support bin-io and s-expression conversion. At a minimum, then,
      [Percent] must look like this:

      {[
        module Percent = struct
          module T = struct
            type t = float [@@deriving bin_io, compare, sexp]

          include T
          include Comparable.Make_binable(T)

      ]}

     [Stable] is used to build stable protocols. It ensures backwards compatibility by
