Indeed, there are many errors made when you increment floats successively. e.g.:

(0.0 to: 1.0 by: 0.1) asArray >>> #(0.0 0.1 0.2 0.30000000000000004 0.4 0.5 0.6000000000000001 0.7000000000000001 0.8 0.9 1.0)

I think creating interval of float should be either forbidden or at least a warning should be raised.

The correct solution here is to use ScaledDecimal.e.g.

(0.0s1 to: 1.0s1 by: 0.1s1) asArray >>> #(0.0s1 0.1s1 0.2s1 0.3s1 0.4s1 0.5s1 0.6s1 0.7s1 0.8s1 0.9s1 1.0s1)

	Priority: 5 – Fix If Time		Status: Work Needed
	Assigned to: Everyone		Milestone: Later
