Christoph, As I said in another post, because Julia infers types, most of the time indexes will just automatically be integers.
It is only when the index is calculated from something, probably from some real value. In that case it is important that the programmer actually understands what is going on and decides explicitly how to handle non-integer indexes, and I understand in uses like statistics you have to be careful not to bias results with how you round things.
