I'm finalising a revision of a motion on the "defined and continuous" (actually, its negation)

IMO this is a huge mistake, as P1788 will then have two decorations that use opposite logical conventions. For example, the "domain" tetrit propagates via conjunction/and/infimum but your "discontinuous" bit will propagate via disjunction/or/supremum.

A constructor for a bare interval can't do that. Briefly put
   Dinterval(3,NaN)  can make a result that behaves like NaI.
   Interval(3,NaN)  can't. So what _should_ it return?

At Level 2 Interval(3,NaN) returns empty set.

The representation of empty set is a Level 3 and/or Level 4 question.
