As a pedagogical device for describing functions such as the one
below

| +-----------------
| /:

-----+------------------------------------
| a

where two formulae, f1 and f2, are necessary for adjoining domains but
the function is continous at the boundary point, I usually write the
description in the form
f(x) = f1(x) for x =< a
f(x) = f2(x) for x >= a
The astute reader will note that the domains overlap, but that
f1(a) = f2(a), so no semantic ambiguity obtains.
