/**
 * SECTION:clutter-interval
 * @short_description: An object holding an interval of two values
 *
 * #ClutterInterval is a simple object that can hold two values
 * defining an interval. #ClutterInterval can hold any value that
 * can be enclosed inside a #GValue.
 *
 * Once a #ClutterInterval for a specific #GType has been instantiated
 * the #ClutterInterval:value-type property cannot be changed anymore.
 *
 * #ClutterInterval starts with a floating reference; this means that
 * any object taking a reference on a #ClutterInterval instance should
 * also take ownership of the interval by using g_object_ref_sink().
 *
 * #ClutterInterval is used by #ClutterAnimation to define the
 * interval of values that an implicit animation should tween over.
 *
 * #ClutterInterval can be subclassed to override the validation
 * and value computation.
 *
 * #ClutterInterval is available since Clutter 1.0
