* Strides break down into: walks along the integer number line and walks along the floating
point number line. We need to fix the math

* For in need to work for collections, integer ranges, and strides for basic iteration.

* Advanced `for` work is already addressed with mapping and Kevin Ballard's proposed iterate and takeWhile

* Everyone but me has been traveling so getting things together has been a little hard.

* I have been on Nate's case a lot about what collections, strides, sequences, etc mean and should be named.
