Motion 8: Exception Handling for Interval Arithmetic

[Nate Hayes <nh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the document "Exception Handling for Interval Arithmetic" as a
formal motion (motion 8) to be voted upon.

The document presents a general framework for exception handling. It
uniformly accomodates all arithmetic and nonarithmetic exceptions that are
relevant for interval arithmetic and its applications. It eliminates the
need for separate global sticky flags, and integrates non-intervals (NaI),
without introducing any overhead for users who don't make use of exceptions.

The document is attached as a PDF (4 pages) to facilitate its reading. Thank
you to Arnold Neumaier for his joint contributions in writing it.

Sincerely,

Nate Hayes
