What you might do is pass <btree-strategy-number, bounds> and
optionally allow a second <btree-strategy-number, bounds>. Then for
the common case of equality you can pass BTEqualStrategyNumber and for
a range bounded at both ends you can pass BTGreaterStrategyNumber or
BTGreaterEqualStrategyNumber for one bound and BTLessStrategyNumber or
BTLessEqualStrategyNumber for the other.
Not sure if this is exactly the right idea but it's what pops to mind.
