Range for floats?

[Stratus3D]

I've been using the range method to select integers within a specified range, and I see there is a float method that returns a random float, but I need a random float within a specified range. Something like:

range_float(23.4, 56.7) 
# => 34.56

Is this something that exists in Rantly? And if not would a contribution to add this method be welcome? Or is there a better way of doing this outside of Rantly?

I'm using https://stackoverflow.com/a/1711720/1245380 for now.

It looks like I could update the existing range method to handle floats as well as strings, and implicitly generate the right type of range. Adding a new range_float method should also be easy too.

I would say there is a bug:

Rantly { range(23.4, 56.7) } #=> 54.4
Rantly { range(23.4, 56) } #=> 29.4
Rantly { range(3, 28.9) } #=> 27
Rantly { range(3.0, 28.9) } #=> 25.0

At least it should give an exception if we don't want floats in range. 🤔
