#' @title
#' Virtual union of \code{IntervalList} and \code{IntervalMatrix} classes
#' 
#' @description 
#' This virtual class is defined as a superclass of
#' \code{IntervalList} and \code{IntervalMatrix} classes.
#' 
#' @details 
#' In particular, this virtual class is defined only for internal use in the
#' \pkg{IntervalQuestionStat} package implementation since it is useful for
#' supplying several classes in some methods signatures. It is very important to
#' remark that users can not define instances of this virtual class.
