No mistake: this is a pretty ugly solution to the problem. However, it *is* a 
problem that badly needs solving, and all the other solutions (like "always use 
the float logic and let the optimizer fix it up into integer logic") are far 
worse. So I believe this proposal should be accepted.

Yes. Striding simply doesn't work properly on floating-point types right now. 
That needs to be fixed.

Yes.

Most languages I've used just let you write shitty floating-point code. It's 
nice to see Swift helping you write good floating-point code.

Quick reading and some private experiments.
