I think that some crafted tests have to be added.
Note that reg_bounds only runs a subset of tests during CI
(controlled by variable SLOW_TESTS).
By default only randomized and crafted tests are run.
It appears to me that probability of randomly generating specific
ranges explored by this series is quite low.
