Change the promotions in ranges causes package tests to fail.

[KristofferC]

After JuliaLang/julia#43059 there is a change in the result of range when it comes to mixed input types:

julia> start, step, length = (2.0, -1, 5)
(2.0, -1, 5)

julia> Base.range(start; step, length) |> typeof # 1.8
StepRangeLen{Float64, Float64, Int64, Int64}

julia> Base.range(start; step, length) |> typeof # 1.7
StepRangeLen{Float64, Base.TwicePrecision{Float64}, Base.TwicePrecision{Float64}, Int64}

This causes some tests in this package (that check === ) to fail, see the PkgEval report https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang-reports/nanosoldier/pkgeval/by_hash/fb69baf_vs_40279f9/RangeHelpers.primary.log.

Thanks for reporting!

This might be an issue on Julia's side though it seems.

[jw3126]

Ok, I think I will wait until 1.8 comes out and then fix any remaining test fails.

[KristofferC]

I think should be fixed by JuliaLang/julia#44528

[KristofferC]

Indeed, fixed.
