We need to support parsing and formatting quantities with explicitly given upper and lower bound (as opposed to just a margin of uncertainty, which is currently supported). While the margin notation is convenient, we need a way to represent and manipulate independent, explicit bounds.

Uncertainty should be described by a set of parameters: lower and upper bounds (not always similar), absolute or relative value and the calculation method. So we need 4 parameters to be able to specify correctly an uncertainty value.
