Unbounded Periods

[bendavies]

Hey there,

Any thoughts on supporting unbounded periods, i.e. periods with no start or end date?
This would possibly mirror and be usable with the postgres tstzrange type, which can be unbounded.

Frankly the thought have crossed my mind but I never went as far as to think about what it would look like. If you have an idea or better an implementation to share that would be a great starting point.

Since version 4.4 all boundary types are supported except for unbounded types. Why because it would mean BC break. The current workaround is to declare one endpoint outside your business model making it pseudo unbounded.
