+arbitrary precision interval arithmetic with intervals represented using MPFR
+reliable floating-point numbers.  It is based on the GNU MP library and on the
+MPFR library.  The purpose of an arbitrary precision interval arithmetic is on
+the one hand to get guaranteed results, thanks to interval computation, and on
+the other hand to obtain accurate results, thanks to multiple precision
+arithmetic.")
