Re: Motion P1788/M0014.01: 6.1_and_6.2_of_document: up for discussion
P-1788:
can somebody explain what for is the line of text in 6.1 that says:
"provided that it shall be possible to retrieve the bounds of x exactly."
What is the reason and motivation for this requirement? .
I cannot think of any reason why "exactly" should be required.
One would think inclusion isotonicity is enough. Besides,
it is not clear in what sense the word "exactly" is used -
in the sense of real or machine arithmetic (that is at most
1 ulp lost)?
Regards,
Svetoslav
