  <!--
    Calculates a floating-point representation of an arbitrary position within a
    vector of values, where the value may exist between two elements within the
    vector.

    For example, given the following vector with the value of 12.5:

      [ 5   ]
      [ 10  ]
             <- value is somewhere in here
      [ 15  ]
      [ ... ]
      [ 100 ]

    (Since the vector is 0-indexed, and we know that the index of 10 and 15 are
    1 and 2 respectively, a value halfway between them would have an index of
    exactly 1.5; so that's the value we're looking for.)

    To calculate its position, given a 0-indexed vector, we need to know (a) the
    step between each value and (b) the offset of the first step (the skip). In
    the above case, index 0 represents 5, so let's assume that the skip provided
    to us is 5. In this case, we have:

      12.5 - 5 = 7.5

    Which is the value without the skip. We can now simply divide it by the
    step:

      7.5 / 5 = 1.5, Q.E.D.

    Calculates any arbitrary value given a vector of values and the step between

    This function is best demonstrated with an example. Consider the following
    vector: [ 0, 5, 10, ..., 100 ]T. From this, we can see that the step is 5
    and the skip is 0. (If the vector would have started at 5, then the skip
    would have been 5.) The value is any arbitrary value.

    This performs an index calculation and then calls vecstepi for further
    processing; see vecstepi and vecpos for further information. Once the
    relative position within the vector is calculated, we no longer need the
    step and skip amounts, since they were only needed to determine the value's
    position.

  <!--
    Calculates any arbitrary value given a vector of values and an arbitrary
    index

    (Continuing from vecstep): if we were given the same vector [ 0, 5, 10, ...,
    100 ]T and the calculated index 2 (assuming that the vectors are 0-indexed),
    that would yield the same upper and lower value (5 and 5). The result would
    then be ( 5 + ( 5-5 * 2-2 ) ) = 5. That's not very impressive, so let's
    consider a more complicated case.

    Consider that the given position is 2.5. By taking the floor and ceiling of
    this position, we arrive at indexes 2 and 3, which yields the values 10 and
    15 respectively. Our goal is to determine what the value (v) at position 2.5
    should be:
      - Start with the lower value; we'll be adding atop of this.
      - Consider the remaining values (upper - lower): 15 - 10 = 5.
        This means that we'll be adding some value between 0 and 5 such that the
        value is 50% of the way (remember, we had 2.5) between the two. So,
        we're looking for the value 2.5.
      - To get this value, we can multiply the difference in the upper and lower
        bounds by the decimal portion of our position (because 5 * 0.50 = 2.5).
        To get the decimal portion, we can simply subtract the floor of the
        position from the position itself: 2.5 - 2 = 0.5.
      - So, we have: 5 + ( 15-10 * 2.5-2 ) = 5 + ( 5 * 0.5 ) = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5.
