/**
 * @prototype StepNumber
 * The class StepNumber is an iterator for Numbers. You provide a start and end
 * value, and a best step size. StepNumber itself rounds to fixed values and
 * a finds the step that best fits the provided step.
 *
 * If prettyStep is true, the step size is chosen as close as possible to the
 * provided step, but being a round value like 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, ....
 *
 * Example usage:
 *   var step = new StepNumber(0, 10, 2.5, true);
 *   step.start();
 *   while (!step.end()) {
 *   alert(step.getCurrent());
 *   step.next();
 *   }
 *
 * Version: 1.0
 *
 * @param {Number} start     The start value
 * @param {Number} end     The end value
 * @param {Number} step    Optional. Step size. Must be a positive value.
 * @param {boolean} prettyStep Optional. If true, the step size is rounded
 *               To a pretty step size (like 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, ...)
