out in the wilderness, the daemon cries:

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

> When typing an open interval as $]a,b[$, a closing bracket is being
> used in place of an opening fence and vice verse. This leads the wrong
> spacing in, say, $]-a,b[$ or $Ain]a,b[=B$. This package attempts to

> interval{a}{b} -> [a,b]
> interval[open]{a}{b} -> ]a,b[
> interval[open left]{a}{b} -> ]a,b]
>
> etc.
>
> It also support fence scaling and ensure that the enclosing fences
> will end up having the proper closing and opening type.
