Definition:Discrete Extension of Reals/Irrational

Definition
Let $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$ be the real number line with the usual (Euclidean) topology.

Let $\Bbb I := \R \setminus \Q$ denote the set of irrational numbers.

Let $\tau^*$ be the discrete extension of $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$:
 * $\tau^* = \tau_d \cup \gen {\set x: x \in \Bbb I}$

$\tau^*$ is then referred to as the discrete irrational extension of $\R$.
