This is an older version of Boost and was released in 2025. The current version is 1.90.0.
There are two major aspects or views of icl containers. The first and predominant aspect is called fundamental. The second and minor aspect is called segmental.

Practical |
interval_sets(maps) can be used as sets(maps) of elements(element value pairs) |
Segmentation information is available. See e.g. Time grids for months and weeks |
On the fundamental aspect
interval implements
a set of elements partially.
interval_set
implements a set of elements.
interval_map
implements a map of element value pairs.
On the segmental aspect
interval_set
implements a set of intervals.
interval_map
implements a map of interval value pairs.
