You're right, I've been using interval with Pascal-XSC only, there it's
just called cinterval.

That's a pitty. I would like to use complex< interval<double> >  later
this year for some quantum mechanical calculations. Of course I can
create my own complex for that so it's not a real problem.

Is this currently adressed by the commitee ? Or is there a
reason for it.
