This is usually buried in output operators. For example, in C++, we could have
interval a;
// some code
cout << a << endl;
I think we must have a uniform way for specifying the output precision and the output format. I compile VNODE-LP with both PROFIL/BIAS and
filib++. It is really annoying that they have different ways to specify the output precision, and the output format is a bit different.
