It would be great to add an option to bounded so that it supports interval constraints with equality.

Current behaviour:

julia> bounded(0., 0., 1.)
ERROR: ArgumentError: Value, 0.0, outside of specified bounds (0.0, 1.0).
Stacktrace:
 [1] bounded(val::Float64, lower_bound::Float64, upper_bound::Float64)
   @ ParameterHandling ~/.julia/packages/ParameterHandling/QaqXk/src/parameters_scalar.jl:54

This would be nice, but I'm not sure how you could achieve this in practice. Do you have any thoughts?

(The reason that we only support open intervals at the minute is because the bijections that we use map the bounds to -Inf and Inf )

Agree - I've just had a look at the code for how it's currently implemented, and it's tricky to see how we'd adapt it to this. I'll have a think.
