Two thoughts on this: Such an object is not precisely a set* of
datetimes, rather it is a set of nonintersecting intervals. It could
also be useful to have one for numbers (the datetime version could even
maybe be implemented in terms of it)
*in the python sense. in the mathematical sense, it is a set with

Are these open intervals or closed intervals?
Also, how are you going to handle daylight savings?
