  17 Bio::Range - Pure perl RangeI implementation
  18
  19 =head1 SYNOPSIS
  20
  21   $range = Bio::Range->new(-start=>10, -end=>30, -strand=>+1);
  22   $r2 = Bio::Range->new(-start=>15, -end=>200, -strand=>+1);
  23
  24   print join(', ', $range->union($r2)), "\n";
  25   print join(', ', $range->intersection($r2)), "\n";
  26
  27   print $range->overlaps($r2), "\n";
  28   print $range->contains($r2), "\n";
  29
  30 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  31
  32 This provides a pure perl implementation of the BioPerl range
  33 interface.
  34
  35 Ranges are modeled as having (start, end, length, strand). They use
  36 Bio-coordinates - all points E<gt>= start and E<lt>= end are within the
  37 range. End is always greater-than or equal-to start, and length is
  38 greather than or equal to 1. The behaviour of a range is undefined if
  39 ranges with negative numbers or zero are used.
  40
  41 So, in summary:
  42
  43   length = end - start + 1
  44   end >= start
  45   strand = (-1 | 0 | +1)
