In terms of intervals as a set of elements: element_type. In terms of
a 2D plane: coordinate_type. In terms of a sorted container: key_type.
Since Phil started with intervals I chose "element_type" (of the
interval). The key values of Phils interval_adaper would be z-values
which differ from the element_type of the intervals as they have
double length due to bit-interleaving.
