This one I agree with. I wasn't even aware that the syntax above worked. The use of 4.1 to deal with the fact that the interval is exclusive is a really silly kludge caused by this feature not being intended to be used with floating point intervals. It would be an argument for making the foreach interval loop more powerful instead, except that if you're going to do that, you may as well just use a regular for loop, since foreach interval loops are just a shortcut for this anyhow.
