No it shouldn't, because the endpoints are integers.
If you want Real numbers, then say "0.0 .. 1.0" instead.

That would be inconsistent. $x ~~ 0..1 means 0 <= $x <= 1. The fact that
the endpoints are integers does not imply the the range does not include
non-integer reals.
My argument is that iterating a range could be defined to give you a
uniform distribution of values that would smart match true against that
range -- and that such a definition would be just as reasonable as (and
perhaps more general than) one that says that you get an incrementing
ordered set of integers across that range.
