%LT (interval) implements (l)ess (t)han, a in interior of b (a<b).

%   DESCRIPTION:
%     'lt' is called
%
%         info = a < b
%
%     or
%
%         info = lt(a,b)
%
%     and computes whether all components of
%     b include the appropiate components of b
%     in the interior.
%
%     The operations on the datatype interval
%     are based on BIAS by Olaf Knueppel.
