The original coding would not work for discrete ranges in which the canonicalization rule is to produce symmetric boundaries (either [] or () style), as noted by Jeff Davis. Florian Pflug pointed out that we could fix that by invoking the canonicalization function to see if the range "between" the two given ranges normalizes to empty. This implementation of Florian's idea is a tad slower than the original code, but only in the case where there actually is a canonicalization function --- if not, it's essentially the same logic as before.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
