Section MEM_BETWEEN.
(** [mem_between above below s] is [true] iff there exists an element of [s] that belongs to the interval described by the predicates [above] and [below]. Using the monotonicity of [above] and [below], the implementation of [mem_between] avoids traversing the subtrees of [s] that lie entirely outside the interval of interest. *)
Variable above_low_bound: elt -> bool.
Variable below_high_bound: elt -> bool.

Hypothesis above_monotone:
forall x1 x2, X.eq x1 x2 \/ X.lt x1 x2 -> above_low_bound x1 = true -> above_low_bound x2 = true.
Hypothesis below_monotone:
forall x1 x2, X.eq x1 x2 \/ X.lt x2 x1 -> below_high_bound x1 = true -> below_high_bound x2 = true.

Lemma raw_mem_between_2:
