Description: A Python implementation of the interval binning scheme
        ======================================================
        
        These are some utility functions for working with the interval binning scheme
        as used in the `UCSC Genome Browser
        <http://genome.cshlp.org/content/12/6/996.full>`_. This scheme can be used to
        implement fast overlap-based querying of intervals, essentially mimicking an
        `R-tree <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-tree>`_ index.
        
        Note that some database systems natively support spatial index methods such as
        R-trees. See for example the `PostGIS <http://postgis.net/>`_ extension for
        PostgreSQL.
        
        Although in principle the method can be used for binning any kind of
        intervals, be aware that the largest position supported by this implementation
        is 2^29 (which covers the longest human chromosome).
