[vwnc] Implementation of Mathematical Interval

Runar Jordahl
Has anyone implemented an “interval” class, as used in mathematics?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

I guess the class should work on magnitudes, support open ended
endpoints and support printing (to string).

I am not looking for class Interval, which represents a “finite
arithmetic progression”.

IIRC, some people at UBA had modeled enough of this to prove functions
are continuous by symbolically evaluating the limit (f(x+h) - f(x)) / h,
when h -> 0.  I do not remember much of the details though... I'd ask on
the Squeak mailing list as this work was done in Squeak.
