I've fixed this (patch forthcoming). I don't think we can do  
something that always does the "right" thing for floating points  
though, as

sage: sum([1.1]*10) < 11
True
sage: sum([1.3]*10) > 13
True

This is NOT a bug in Sage so much as an artifact of the way computers  
store floating point numbers. Now, with the decimal literal thing  
that I was toying with, perhaps we could do accurate sranges anyways.
