OK. One can instantiate with `Interval(*sorted([a,b]))` if they need to.

It's a good idea to make [5, 4] the empty set.
The definition for [a, b] is {x in R: x >= a and x <= b}, and automatically sorting the borders would create all kinds of annoying little inconsistencies with that definition.

Just stick with the conventions that the mathematicians use.
In this case, they take great care to say thinks like
[x - epsilon, x + epsilon] where epsilon = abs(some expression).
Stick with that, they know what they're doing :-)
