You can call test for a bounded-real with breal/1, and decompose it
with breal_bounds/3 (which incidentally also gives sensible results
when given floats, integers or rationals).

We could in fact add an is_breal() function to the C/C++ interface.
However, for the high-level interfaces to Java, Tcl etc, the data
exchange is via EXDR-format, which is meant to represent only common
data types that are available in any langauge, so bounded-reals are out!

What you have done, i.e. converting the data into C++-friendly types
on the ECLiPSe side, is the most sensible way to do it.
