LGTM. Good shout on noting non-representable start and stop args.

linspaceshould be limited to floating-point output data types, unless a conforming implementation has compelling reasons for supporting integer output data types (e.g., due to backward compatibility). However, integer output behavior is left implementation-defined and should not, in general, be considered portable.intstart and stop values to floating-point. Namely, that overflow behavior is implementation-defined. This follows similar guidance elsewhere in the specification.
