?Vars $:: ++Lo..++Hi

   Constrain Vars to only take real values in the given Domain.

Arguments
   Vars                Variable or collection (a la collection_to_list/2) of variables
   Domain              Domain in the form Lo..Hi

Type
   library(ic)

Description

   Constrains Vars to take only real values in the given range, i.e. between
   (and including) Lo and Hi.  Vars may be a variable or a collection of
   variables (as accepted by collection_to_list/2).
   
   The range must be give in the form Lo..Hi, where Lo and Hi are numbers
   or ground numeric expressions of arbitrary type.

   If the variables already have domains, their domain is intersected with
   the new one, possibly failing if it becomes empty.  Also, integrality
   is simply a constraint, and may be imposed on the variables independently.

   Real domain variables can be instantiated to integers, floats, bounded
   reals or rationals (as they are all considered to be representations of
   real numbers).


Examples
   ?- X $:: 0.1..9.9.
X = X{0.1..9.9}
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- X $:: -1..9.
X = X{-1.0..9.0}
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- dim(Start, [4]), Start $:: 0.0..5.0.
Start = [](_434{0.0..5.0}, _449{0.0..5.0}, _464{0.0..5.0}, _479{0.0..5.0})
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- length(Xs, 3), Xs $:: 0..inf.
Xs = [_400{0.0..1.0Inf}, _415{0.0..1.0Inf}, _430{0.0..1.0Inf}]
Yes (0.00s cpu)

?- X $:: [1 .. 3, 4 .. 5].
type error in X $:: [1 .. 3, 4 .. 5]
