This is an easy one, but there has to be some standard for doing it; which
is what I'm curious about.
I want a simple routine which tests date_a against date_b to see if date_a
intersects in anyway with date_b. The dates are initially supplied as
(,mm?,dd?) and turned into days since epoch u

Indeed, howe

And you're asking "does any part of Test lie within I

Nah, return true if the two intervals overlap, at all.
It's just messy looking and I wondered if there

I just had one of those "duh," moments. Thank u.
