Seems to me that one size isn't going to fit all.

Maybe we really want two functions:

    interpolate(start, end, count)
        Requires a type supporting addition and division,
        designed to work predictably and accurately with
        floats

    extrapolate(start, step, end)
        Works for any type supporting addition, not
        recommended for floats
