Description
I periodically find the need for an Interval type that doesn't imply the step size present in Ranges. I could get such a type from here or AxisArrays. Currently, though, I roll my own to mimic the way you can create an empty range with 1:0; here, these lines imply that something similar won't work (and AxisArrays deliberately throws an error). How important are those behaviors to users of these packages? Should I just keep rolling my own, or might it be worth trying to have an official stand-alone registered Intervals package? CC @mbauman.
