(Feature Request) Get the bounds of an interval when referencing an interval-map?

[cfinegan]

It would be nice to be able to get the bounds of an interval when referencing an interval-map. The syntax might look something like this:

> (define im (make-interval-map '(((5 . 10) . "value"))))
> (define-values (start finish val)
    (interval-map-ref/bounds im 7))
> start
5
> finish
10
> value
"value"

If you look at the implementation in terms of data/skip-list, I think this is doable. Can you try to make the implementation and see how hard it is?

The function interval-map-ref/bounds does this. Added after this issue?

Maybe the history line "Added in version 1.1 of package data-lib." was supposed to be after interval-map-ref/bounds and not before?
