RangeSet

The RangeSet library provides the ability to do set operations on ranges. It comprises an extension to the Range class and a new RangeSet class. Supported set operations are union, intersection and subtraction. Does not work well with ranges with excluded endpoints.

# union:
(1..4) | (3..6)   # => 1..6
(1..2) | (3..4)   # => [1..2, 3..4]

# intersection:
(1..2) & (3..4)   # => nil
(1..4) & (3..6)   # => 3..4
RangeSet.new(2..4, 7..9) & (3..8) # => [3..4, 7..8]

# subtraction:
(2..3) - (1..4)   # => nil
(1..4) - (3..5)   # => 1..3
(1..6) - (3..4)   # => [1..3, 4..6]
