Is Siegfried's proposed interval foundation yet another example of an system that would not be a P1788 standard conforming flavor?
I found is paper very innovative and interesting.
So did I. Unfortunately it seemed to me on first reading that (any nontrivial realisation of) it was incompatible with P1788 since early in the project's history. If I'm wrong, and it can indeed be a flavor, that would be great.
At the time he made the "Rump system" public, I felt it was too late to discard what we had done and start again. So I think Siegfried is a bit unfair to the group in saying "the only comment I heard from the stds-1788 mail group was that there is no reference implementation".
I hope someone implements the system, and I look forward to try it out.
