I fully agree. This is my preferred definition of range(f,xx). I wish it
could be included in our motions and standard.

Furthermore, if and only if

    (all x in xx)(exist y in yy) E(x) = y
    (all y in yy)(exist x in xx) E(x) = y

are both true, then range(f,xx) is an exact enclosure (as opposed to some
outward rounding).

The latter can also define the inner rounding/enclosure, as well.
