I haven't really seen the issue of equality dealt with explicitly, but it appears that you can extract the bounds of the interval implied by a given unum. Essen

I haven't really seen the issue of equality dealt with explicitly, but it appears that you can extract the bounds of the interval implied by a given unum. Essentially, it seems like an alternative to interval arithmetic with potentially tighter bounds and faster computation.
