This concept has been done many times in the past, under the name "interval arithmetic." Boost has it [1] as does flint [2]
What is really curious is why, after being reinvented so many times, it is not more mainstream. I would love to talk to people who have tried using it in production and then decided it was a bad idea (if they exist).
