Thanks.  There are a few awkward parts to maintain compatibility, 
but that seems to be the only way to go.

Do you not like the order?  Because it was actually a..step..b 
(like MATLAB/Julia, not like Python).  Or do you not like the 
"verbosity" of all those dots (a:step:b would be better)?  Or is 
it the readability issues if floating point literals were mixed 
in there?
