(description "MPFI is intended to be a portable library written in C for
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.")

"@dfn{MPFI} (Multiple Precision Floating-point Interval) is a portable C
library for arbitrary-precision interval arithmetic, with intervals represented
using MPFR reliable floating-point numbers. It's based on the @dfn{GMP} (GNU
Multiple Precision Arithmetic) and GNU@tie{}@dfn{MPFR} (Multiple Precision
Floating-Point Reliably) libraries.
The purpose of arbitrary-precision interval arithmetic is to get results that
are both guaranteed, thanks to interval computation, and accurate, thanks to
multiple-precision arithmetic.")
