Glad it helped. Do note that using the <@ operator is inclusive,
i.e., (0,0) and (1,1) are included. The method using the
strict_during helper is exclusive, so (0,0) and (1,1) are rejected.
So the two constraints are slightly different. So make sure you use
the one which works for your situation :)
