It's possible to do it like that for discrete types like dates.  It's
not possible for continuous types.  Exercise: try to write a partitioning
rule for a "numeric" column that classifies every value into one and only
one partition, if the partitioning behavior is like A <= X <= B.

(No fair restricting the precision of the numeric.)
