## Compute the Hausdorff distance between two intervals as sets.
##
## The Hausdorff distance for closed real intervals is the maximum distance
## between both pairs of interval boundaries.
##
## If any interval is empty, the result is NaN.  For interval arrays the
## result is computed entry-wise.
##
## Accuracy: The result is correctly-rounded (towards infinity).
##
## @example
## @group
## hdist (infsup (1, 6), infsup (2, 8))
##   @result{} ans =  2
## @end group
## @end example
