Postgres 14 adds various multirange data types corresponding to the
existing range types: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/rangetypes.html

e.g.:

{{{
select nummultirange(numrange(null, 2), numrange(4, 5), numrange(8, 9));
}}}

Gives `"{(,2),[4,5),[8,9)}"`.

I would like to have some support for these in Django.

One use case: an app that finds time for meetings. Each user submits
ranges of times they're available on a calendar and the app suggests times
that works for everyone / the most people.

Comment (by Tom Carrick):

I just found https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33238 for this issue
but closed as wontfix. I didn't find it the first time because I searched
for "multirange" rather than "multi range".

Anyway I do think this can be implemented without too much of a
maintenance burden. I have some ideas on the implementation but I haven't
thought about it too closely.

I just wanted to add this because I didn't see the original ticket so I'm
not sure if this one should be closed as well.

Comment:

Thanks! I had a gut feeling that I'd seen it already 🤦. Let's close it as
a duplicate of #33238. Please leave a comment in the original ticket. We
can reopen it if you provides PoC that is maintainable.
