Summary: inconsistent acceptance of floats for range()

Initial Comment:
``range(1.0)`` will raise a DeprecationWarning (thanks to 
PyArg_ParseTuple() warning when a float is passed when an 
integer is expected), but if you do ``range(1e100)`` it raises a 
TypeError saying that an "integer end argument expected, got 
float".  Obviously not consistent.
