6.13.2.21.4 Rules & constraints

• At least one finite bound; an inclusivity flag is required exactly when its bound exists.
• Two bounds: lower ≤ upper; equality requires both inclusive. These are value bounds, not temporal bounds.
• Interval requires both; lower_bound only lower; upper_bound only upper. Closed and mixed/open intervals are expressible.
