Re: Motion 46: finalise interval literals, amendments

So, does this mean that the default when one enters 1.23, or 1.230 this will be converted to a degenerate, or 1-ulp wide internal interval? If so, I believe this to be a huge mistake because it will lead people into mistakenly thinking their inputs are infinitely precise when they are not. 

Cheers,

Bill

1. On balance, AGAINST the Sun notation of 1.2300 denoting [1.2299,1.2301]. I tend to agree, and think the Neumaier (Vienna) notation of 1.2300?1 is less prone to confusion once you get used to it.
