NP, thanks for writing it!

I have started to use statically bounded intervals and am finding more 
compilation issues. For example with finding elements in a map:

#define BOOST_ICL_USE_STATIC_BOUNDED_INTERVALS
#include <boost/icl/interval_map.hpp>

void f() {
        namespace icl = ::boost::icl;
        icl::interval_map< float, int >().find( 0 );
}

This compiles without the #define but fails on static intervals. This 
makes me think it might be worth having tests for every possible 
combination that is listed in the function synopsis for both static and 
for dynamic intervals:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/libs/icl/doc/html/boost_icl/interface/function_synopsis.html

I can keep you up-to-date with any further problems I find but I'm just 
wondering whether it would be easier to fix them all in one go.

I'm using gcc 4.4.3 with boost trunk svn 69120
