No, but there is D code shaped around iota(0.0, 1.0, 0.3) which is semantically
identical to iota!"[)"(0.0, 1.0, 0.3), which is part of the proposal.

So, if there is going to be any "choice of boundary conditions" generalization
of iota, it should work as a seamless generalization of all the behaviour it
currently supports -- which includes both integral and floating-point types.
