The only time I could possibly see a use for open-close in iota, is when you
want to iterate all the way to T.max.
But I don't think that use-case justifies the change.
Suppose I want to calculate function values across a continuous interval.
Obviously an elegant way of doing this is to foreach across the range of an iota
that covers the interval with small increment.
However, the function may be asymptotic at either the upper or lower boundary,
or both, or none. So I need to be able to indicate correspondingly whether the
upper or lower bounds of the iota should be included or not.
It's maybe not the most important use-case, but if the change can be introduced
in a non-breaking way, why not?
