I'm looking at the comments in a code base that looks for section of time intervals, and there's this comment saying "If the intervals from the source are straddling the destination interval boundaries, then the interval needs to be split."
Does anyone know what "straddling" means in this context? It seems to be some case of overlapping intervals where the source intervals fully encompasses the destination interval? That's my interpretation but I'm not certain.
Straddle: "sit or stand with one leg on either side of."
Example: "he turned the chair around and straddled it."
Clearly means one leg on one side, the other leg on the other side.
