At #15299, we need to compute some series and we also want an error bound on the result. Normally, interval arithmetic should be ideal for this, but unfortunately RealIntervalField() is quite a bit slower than RealField(). So I'm thinking about creating a faster (but more naive) version of RIF, which internally computes with (value,error) pairs. We obviously still want rigorous error bounds, but in the end result, the error might be bigger than what true interval arithmetic would give.

Is this desirable or is it a bad idea?
