@cindex Range Tables
A range table is a table that efficiently associated values with
ranges of integers.
Note that range tables have a read syntax, like this:
@example
#s(range-table data ((-3 2) foo (5 20) bar))
@end example
This maps integers in the range (-3, 2) to @code{foo} and integers
in the range (5, 20) to @code{bar}.
@defun range-table-p object
Return non-@code{nil} if @var{object} is a range table.
@end defun

* Introduction to Range Tables:: Range tables efficiently map ranges of
integers to values.
* Working With Range Tables:: Range table functions.

@defun make-range-table
Make a new, empty range table.
@end defun
@defun copy-range-table old-table
Make a new range table which contains the same values for the same
ranges as the given table. The values will not themselves be copied.

@defun get-range-table pos table &optional default
This function finds value for position @var{pos} in @var{table}. If
there is no corresponding value, return @var{default} (defaults to
@code{nil}).
@end defun
@defun put-range-table start end val table
This function sets the value for range (@var{start}, @var{end}) to be
@var{val} in @var{table}.
@end defun
@defun remove-range-table start end table
This function removes the value for range (@var{start}, @var{end}) in
@var{table}.
@end defun
@defun clear-range-table table
This function flushes @var{table}.
@end defun
@defun map-range-table function table
This function maps @var{function} over entries in @var{table}, calling
it with three args, the beginning and end of the range and the
corresponding value.
