The Basic Allen Relation Set
allen_relation_code(...)
allen_relation_string(...)
allen_relation_concurrent(...)
allen_relation_distinct(...)Currently not used.
allen_relation_code() returns a character vector of one-letter codes
for the thirteen basic Allen relations.
allen_relation_string() returns a character vector of string
descriptors of the Allen basic relations.
allen_relation_concurrent() returns a character vector of nine
one-letter codes for the Allen concurrent relations.
allen_relation_distinct() returns the six value Allen relation set for
intervals with distinct endpoints.
The codes were proposed by Thomas Alspaugh.
