## Append the scalar interval value @var{C} to the interval vector @var{X}
## until it is of length @var{L}.  If @var{C} is not given, a value of 0 is

## If @code{length (@var{X}) > L}, elements from the end of @var{X} are removed
## until an interval vector of length @var{L} is obtained.
##
## If @var{X} is an interval matrix, elements are appended or removed from each
## row or column.
##
## If the optional argument DIM is given, operate along this dimension.
##
## If DIM is larger than the dimension of X, the result will have DIM
## dimensions.
