There are a few, but none of them was implementing a set ot
non-intersecting intervals. AFAIK what I needed had no implementation
until now.

I know, I was not clear in my request. A simple set will not unify
overlapping intervals, and cannot do set operations (union,
intersection, difference, symmetric difference).
