I think this would be a good idea.  

Consider using inversion lists.  They don't require pairs of integers;
each value represents a flip.  They have other nice properties too,
though it's been a while since I looked at them so I can't name them.  I
think Kim Storm posted a sample Lisp implementation of the data
structure in emacs-devel a while ago; I can dig it up if you're
interested.
