If you have something like "between 1846 and 1855", you can use the "before" and "after" fields of the time value:
time: "+00000001850-00-00T00:00:00Z", precision: 9, before: 4, after: 5
This means the "main" value is 1850, given as a year, with a lower bound four years before and an upper bound 5 years after the "main" value (before and after are given in the unit specified by the precision value). The "main" value is what is going to be displayed per default; it will also be used for sorting query results (once we have queries).
Is it possible to have just an lower bond, leaving the upper one open? I am thinking of uses like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic#earliest_da...
For things like "circa" I don't see any clear solution other than "inventing" some ranges...
