   range_t structures comprising each new contiguous range, as well as the 
   length of that array.  

   NOTE: The input range must be sorted!

   NOTE: destroy_range_list() will take care of releasing the data that it
   allocates as a result of calling get_contiguous_ranges().  Do not free that
   data yourself.

   NOTE: the user data of the original range_t structures is simply copied, so 
   be careful handling it. You can destroy the range_list_t with 
   destroy_range_list() as usual.  On error, the function does not return--the 
   program terminates. 

   NOTE: The returned range is not sorted.  You must call sort_ranges() if you
   need to.

   r = { [0, 10) }
   s = { [3, 5), [7, 9) }

   Then r - s is { [0, 3), [5, 7), [9, 10) }

   NOTE: Both range lists must be sorted on input.  This is guarded by an 
         assertion.

   NOTE: Range s must contain ranges, which are fully contained by the span of
         range r (the span being the interval between the start of the lowest
         range in r, inclusive, and the end of the highest range in r, 
         exclusive).

   NOTE: In addition to the requirement above, range s must contain ranges, 
         each of which is a subrange of one of the ranges of r.

   NOTE: There is no user info associated with the resulting range. 

   NOTE: The resulting range is not sorted.

   Ther returned list must be destroyed with destroy_range_list().
