When subtracting an Interval[{c,d}] from Interval [{a,b}], i.e.:
[a,b] - [c,d]
I imagine "all the possibilities", and "all" in this case means
subtracting d from a and c from b. That is the "worst case scenario".
So the resulting interval would be:
[a-d,b-c]
Mind that Interval[{a,b}] represent a number of numbers. The result of
subtraction cannot be a single number, but an interval.
