a random (maybe dummy) thought about hardware implementation: is it possible to have hardware instructions that would be helpful both for interval arithmetic (for the [lo, hi] representation) and for complex floating-point arithmetic (for the cartesian representation)? If so, this would increase the impact of such instructions, and maybe help to convince the hardware vendors. Paul Zimmermann
