Then add a comment line (at most two) to the file explaining interval syntax for
anyone who is not familiar with the notation.  Understanding algorithms (the
real math) is not the same as being familiar a with particular notation.

In particular, there are (unfortunately) lots of (smart) programmers who are not
very well versed in math.  That does not mean that they cannot understand, given
an explanation of the (in this case trivial) syntax.
