IntervalSurgeon presents functions for manipulating integer-bounded sets of intervals.
Sets of intervals are represented by two-column matrices, where inclusive start points are stored in the first column, and exclusive end points in the second.
A central concept in the package is the `sections' of a set of intervals x: the non-overlapping, completely-covering set of intervals on the range of x, formed by making intervals between the consecutive sorted start/end points of the intevals in x.
The function sections returns such a set of intervals given an input set.
