interval<> is already renamed by segment<> as we speak.

One other thing: maybe I could replace ptr_base<T, complex_hierarchy>::s_id
usages with type_info * (if type_info addresses are close together)... this
would simplify even more:
s_offset[& typeid(U)] = ...

type_info * should legaly convert to a size_type.
