How come?  I looked at the code it seems doable.  When I first looked at 
the code some months ago, it seemed too hard to adapt to my use case.  
So I made my own specific version.  Of course I was wrong and I now I 
see that my original use case was ill-factored.  I do have my own 
constexpr version, but now it should be about the same as the Boost 
version.  Granted, this might be an ambitious, long and tedious change, 
but I other than that, I don't see any fundamental obstacle to 
implementing it.  Actually, I would much like to see the documentation 
improved as well.  But by the time we're done, it's really interval2 
rather than just a tweak to interval.

I've studied the package in some detail.  I believe it is well done - 
but since it was done, I think we have somewhat expectations than we did 
then.
