>
> {{Slice.isEmpty}} is currently defined as {{comparator.compare(end, start) <
> 0}} but this shouldn't be a strict inequality. Indeed, the way
> {{Slice.Bound}} is defined, having a start equal to an end implies a range
> like {{[1, 1)}}, but that range is definitively empty and something we
> shouldn't let in as that would break merging and other range tombstone
> related code.
> In practice, if you can currently insert such empty range (with something
> like {{DELETE FROM t WHERE k = 'foo' AND i >= 1 AND i < 1}}), and that can
> trigger assertions in {{RangeTomstoneList}} (and possibly other problem).
