In general is it a good idea to use iota with floating point arguments?
I guess you're thinking of the difficulty of making exact equality comparisons between the current value and the end value? A floating-point iota certainly allows you to represent certain things quite elegantly, although I suppose for safety's sake you might want to use an integer-based iota and calculate FP values from that.
In any case, the usefulness of closed-vs-open boundary conditions isn't limited to FP iota, although it's certainly the main use case.
