Well, it's not FORTRAN, but languages designed for constraint logic programming (CLP) include "real" intervals, both with and without holes in them. I'm not familiar enough with CLP to know what the implementation issues are, but if no one less ignorant than me comes forward, I can ask the local CLPeople .
