Clarification/correction:
Ex 5 isn't consistent with the other examples....
To be consistent with the other examples the resulting ranges would be
something like:
xa_rng = c(-100,-100)
xb_rng = c(100,100)
or just...
xa_rng = -100
xb_rng = 100
However, my original Ex 5 would be a good solution if the s range endpoints
were not included in the results per my statement:
"...but in a perfect world the resulting ranges would not include the s
range endpoints and would include endpoints of the x range if they were not
eliminated by an s range."
Sorry, for any confusion.
Thanks!
