Hi,

      I have the same problem as John did. When I try

      slider(-0.7, 0.7, 0.01, 0)

the slider start with a very small number but not exactly 0. Can that
be fixed somehow? In fact, for my purpose I want it to start at a
nonzero value but can hit exact 0 by sliding, how can that be done?

Also it said in slider? step_size is an integer. Looks like that has
been changed in the implementation and maybe the documentation should
be catching up soon.
