Re: The current proposal



The point is that always, without case distinction, the following
should be true:

(1)  For a given function F, for example, X=F(interval(A.sup)) should
give an
inclusion of the value of F at the right bound of A.

Always???

This value is not even properly defined in many cases,
such as when F(x)=x-x or F(x)=(x-1)/(x+1) and A=[0,inf].

If "infinity as number" is true, i.e., if the infinity is not a member of the interval but rather a token for an unbounded real number, then it is properly defined:

   F(Inf)=Inf-Inf=0
   F(Inf)=(Inf-1)/(Inf+1)=Inf/Inf=1
