half-open ranges always start by a NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_END flag set
on, eg.

# nft --debug=netlink add element x y { 5-65535 }
element 00000000  : 1 [end]     element 00000500  : 0 [end]

Could you have a look at the function to order elements using the
mergesort function? It's currently only called for non-intervals by
now, so it would be good to converge to use it in all cases.

Anything else?
