John,I do not agree. I believe a good interval standard should be the foundation for language standards to include intervals as data types so they are increasingly likely to be intrinsically implemented in compilers, not just as attached libraries.

This focuses our minds on a crucial issue. We need a standard that is easy (well, fairly easy for an experienced person) to implement in portable code, as well as easy to explain. We need an industrial-strength standard that has facilities required by demanding applications. These two aims unavoidably conflict.
