RE : [eigen] LinSpaced() API

["ESCANDE Adrien 222264" <adrien.escande@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

speaking of this method, it would be useful to have a LinSpace(low, high) version with increment of 1 between two numbers
(maybe in this case the name would be Range) or more generaly something mimicking the start:end and start:incr:end.
It would be especially useful to select rows/cols of a matrix...
