FWIW, on the related topic of Kaucher intervals:

For the period of time I've been involved with P1788 I have studied very 
carefully the motions with regard to Kaucher arithmetic. In my personal 
assessment, all of the motions are compatible with this. From motion 3 (sets 
of reals), Ulrich's arithmetic operations, Jurgen's table of required 
functions, decorations and exception handling, reverse operations, the 
various proposals for comparisions and overlapping operators, as well as 
Motion 16 and 19 (regardless which way that debate ends up).

On this present course, very little work would be needed to include Kaucher 
arithmetic; and all that work could be done at the very end as the last 
order of business. I believe it would be possible to finish on time.

Sincerley,
