Now, I *suspect* (but don't remember for sure) that the option to have it
right-hand-open-ended was to match the mental model people have for range:
In [5]: linspace(0, 10, 10, endpoint=False)
Out[5]: array([ 0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9.])
In [6]: range(0, 10)
Out[6]: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
My guess would be it's so that you can concatenate two sequences
created with linspace covering adjacent ranges and get the same
result as a single linspace call covering the whole range.
I do hope, though, that the chosen name is *not*:
- 'interval'
- 'interpolate' or similar
Would 'subdivide' be acceptable?
