I think it is worth testing this, though I'm not in favor of eliminating BigFloat intervals.

This is not about replacing BigFloat, but about removing the need to change the rounding mode all the time for Float64. We certainly will not be replacing BigFloat! On the other hand, it will certainly be useful to have larger, fixed precision, like DoubleDouble, ArbFloats, etc.
