span(Sequence) -- construct smallest interval

Function: span
Usage:

I = span(S)

I = span(S,Precision => prec)
Inputs:
- S, a sequence, containing Number (including RRi)
Optional inputs:
- Precision => an integer, default value -1, specifies the desired precision of the output, a value of -1 uses the minimum precision of the inputs.
Outputs:
- I, a real interval,

Description

Returns the smallest interval containing the inputs (which can include intervals). Typically, the returned interval is not empty.
