Hello,

Can variables in 2.2.3 and/or 3.0 be defined with a certain range (e.g.
real and positive)?  If so how?

A place where this commonly is useful is symbolic integration.  The
classic example is:

Integrate[Exp[-a x^2], {x, -Infinity, Infinity}] where a>0 and real.

There are many other cases where range definitions are useful.  I am
currently doing a lot of symbolic convolution, autocorrelation, and
Fourier transform integration.

Thanks,
