Thanks Filip. I'll have a look into it :)

Yes this is the kind of operation we can provide (union/intersection).

The more I think to it, the more I find Interval might not be the good
candidate to subclass.
I find Interval correspond to an ordered collection where each element
(numbers) difference with its successor is the step.
So Interval is a collection of discrete values.

I think Interval open/closed (the one I'd like to have) is a
"collection" for continues values (infinite element?)... So maybe it's
ok for an implementation to subclass Interval but I don't think it's
correct.

Interval -> "I represent a finite arithmetic progression."
What about infinite arithmetic progression ? ;)

Can a collection contain an infinite number of elements... ?
[0 1[ could represent the collection of **all number** between 0 and 1 excluded.


Thanks
