The Axiom interpreter is not able to parse the
following statement:
\begin{axiom}
[i for i in -1.0..0.0 by 0.5]
\end{axiom}

But this has an obvious and useful interpretation so it is
not clear why "lower bound in a loop must be an integer".

This is not a restriction that needs to be imposed on the
Axiom library. See for example:
