N2 - In this paper, we demonstrate that Robb-Geroch's definition of a relativistic interval admits a simple and fairly natural generalization leading to a Finsler extension of special relativity. Another justification for such an extension goes back to the works of Lalan and Alway and, finally, was put on a solid basis and systematically investigated by Bogoslovsky under the name "Special-relativistic theory of locally anisotropic spacetime". The isometry group of this spacetime, DISIMb(2), is a deformation of the Cohen and Glashow's very special relativity symmetry group ISIM(2). Thus, the deformation parameter b can be regarded as an analog of the cosmological constant characterizing the deformation of the Poincare group into the de Sitter (anti-de Sitter) group. The simplicity and naturalness of Finslerian extension in the context of this paper adds weight to the argument that the possibility of a nonzero value of b should be carefully considered.
