Hmm ... ok, I see. The interval_intersection function signature
suggests that this should work:

myIntersection <- function(...) {
  do.call(interval_intersection, unname(list(...)))
}

Or you can just make a list of intervals and do the same do.call mojo, ie:

do.call(interval_intersection, my.interval.list)

yay/nay?
