Done in repository.

This means that the textToInterval(s) constructor is an exemption of the above rule.

Bare constructor textToInterval("[1,2]_com") has no value,
but the decorated constructor textToInterval("[1,2]_com") has the common decorated value
"[1,2]_com". 

Have you a suggestion how to say it clearer ?
