Well, actually, I'd be using it with dates.  ;)

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
