The general approach to ensuring that all values
of a range are covered exactly once involves sorting the individual
sub-ranges (using qsort or your favorite sorting method),
and then making sure that there is no overlap between
successive sub-ranges, and in the absence of "others,"
making sure that the sub-ranges "touch" with no
gaps between them.
