msg(?Var1, ?Var2, ?MSG)
Computes the most specific generalisation of Var1 and Var2 that is expressible with ic variables.
- Var1
- A variable or number
- Var2
- A variable or number
- MSG
- Most specific generalisation (variable)
Description
   The most specific generalisation of two intervals is computed and
   returned as MSG.  MSG will interval over the smallest interval enclosing
   the input intervals, and have the more general type of the input types.
   If either Var1 or Var2 are domain-less, or have values that cannot be
   expressed as ic-domains, MSG remains unbound.
Modes and Determinism
- msg(-, -, ?)
- msg(++, ++, ?)
