By the way, the original issue has been addressed and is now in master, see #13615 <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/13615>. Ranges act the same internally, but REPL output looks like this:
julia> 0:4
5-element UnitRange{Int64}:
0,1,2,3,4
julia> 0:100
101-element UnitRange{Int64}:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,…,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100
julia> linspace(0,2.5,4)
4-element LinSpace{Float64}:
0.0,0.833333,1.66667,2.5
