Absolutely none.  I'll add it.  Also I'll add contains(double) since contains(Number) only autoboxes in later versions of the language (and it not particularly efficient):

    public boolean contains(Number val) { return contains(val.doubleValue()); }
    public boolean contains(double val) { return (val >= min.doubleValue() && val <= max.doubleValue()); }

Sure.
