Comment (by anonymous):

 It's been mention in mailing list that "You can use icl interval
 containers with limited integral numeric domain-types safely on intervals
 using values from ++std::min<T>() to--std::max<T>()".

 If this is the case then even code such as this is illegal:

 {{{
 boost::interval_set<unsigned int> int(0, 10);
 }}}

 This seems unacceptable. And as mentioned above the code in
 ''right_subtract'' already guards against this.
