scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[UInt]?

Question

Trying to make a scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[UInt]

Looks like it needs a scala.math.Integral[UInt].

But there does not seem to be a spire.math.Integral[UInt].

I am assuming thats because UInt violates the laws around Integral in some way.

I am mostly interested in NumericRange[UInt].contains(x: UInt)

Is it folly for me to attempt to construct a scala.math.Integral[UInt] on my own?

Or should I find some other way to get contains?

Is there a trait that should exist that should be inherited by Set[T] and Range and NumericRange[T] that declares contains[T]

What should that trait be called?

Should I do this as a type class?

What should I call this type class?

Answer 1

If you just need contains(x: UInt), you should use spire.math.Interval[UInt]

See: https://typelevel.org/spire/api/spire/math/Interval.html

If you need other bits of the NumericRange[UInt] then see other answers that arrive in the future.
