2. when the midpoint of a (real) interval is exactly in the middle
between two machine numbers, then mid-rad presentation is not unique.
Actually, that's an interesting objection to mid-rad. I find it
analogous to the problem of defining rounding to nearest when
the exact result is the midpoint between two machine numbers. If
we want reproducibility, we would specify it, but it wouldn't matter
how we would specify it, just that we did specify it.
Nonetheless, I view nailing down mid-rad (that is, specifying it
fully) a somewhat separate issue from that of saying that an
implementation is conforming only if it contains an inf-sup type.
