Bug or feature? iota has different semantics for integer and float arguments

Although that difference is a bug, iota does have a special floating 
point implementation to prevent the accumulation of floating point 
errors. I mention it as item 4 here:

Briefly, iota's regular popFront() is a trivial

   front += step

but it is

   ++n

for floating types so that front can be

   begin + (n * step)

for them.

The iota discussion starts at an earlier point in the video here:
