Very briefly the motion says:
Every P1788 compliant system shall provide the four basic arithmetic operations with rounding upwards and downwards.
This request is as old as interval arithmetic itself (Sunaga's paper). The motion allows realization of the operations in software and/or hardware. Unfortunately all arguments on motion 24.02 came after the end of the discussion period. I
agree that the text could be simplified but I was confident that John will find a way of how and where to put it in the standard.
Meanwhile I feel that the confusion is too large. Changing the motion during the voting period is not possible. So I withdraw the motion. I shall submit a revised text on the line of Michel Hack's suggestions at a later date.
Best regards
Ulrich Kulisch
