It refuses to work on floats, too, even if they
happen to have integer values:

 >>> range(1.0, 10.0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

If we think that's a good idea, presumably the same thing
ought to apply to Decimals. Or are Decimals supposed to be
more "exact" than floats somehow?
