[eclipse 1]: lib(ic).

[eclipse 2]: get_ic_bounds(pi,L,H).
number expected in breal(pi, _255)
Abort
[eclipse 3]: X*=pi,get_ic_bounds(X,L,H).

X = 3.1415926535897913__3.1415926535897949
L = 3.1415926535897913
H = 3.1415926535897949
Yes (0.00s cpu)


Should the treatment of 'constants' be consistant across all procedures?
a.k.a.
Is 'pi' a constant, or an expression?
