but one of the nice properties of Interval Arithmetic is
that mixed-format and even mixed-radix expressions can
generally be defined nicely, exploiting the hull concept,
so there is no need to restrict them. (Users would however
have to be aware of possible performance implications.)
Is there a possible problem with the "hull concept" in this
context, if we want to maintain cross-platform reproducibility?
(This is a bona fide question, not a rhetorical one.)
