Re: Remaining work on SRFI 196

There is one issue still open; unfortunately, I just noticed that I
didn't send the email to the list but just to Wolfgang.
I have now forwarded it.
The problem is still the indexer constraint, which doesn't help a lot.
Another thing is that the error condition of numeric-range is
numerically unstable. To solve this second problem, the end argument
should just be interpreted as an upper bound, not a bound that is
exactly reachable in the next step. With this change, (numeric-range
0.0 2.5 1.0) would stand for the sequence 0.0, 1.0, 2.0.
