Meant to ask you about that… is it really worthwhile the overall complication? 
That half-open interval business that is?

After all, the idiomatic way to query point in time data would be using 
'between', no?

For example:

where point_in_time between valid_from and valid_to

As oppose to:

where point_in_time >= valid_from and point_in_time < valid_to

Thoughts?
