Good idea.
Some random review comments:
This should test for special inputs, NaN and infinity (it doesn't make
sense to convert those to NumericVars). generate_series() produces an
error for all such inputs, so the support function can just not
produce an estimate for these cases (the same as when the step size is
zero).
NumericVars initialised using init_var() should be freed using
free_var(). That can be avoided for the 3 inputs, by using
init_var_from_num(), rather than set_var_from_num(), which saves
copying digit arrays. It should then be possible to write this using a
single additional allocated NumericVar and one init_var()/free_var()
pair.
There's no need to use floor(), since the div_var() call already
produces a floored integer result.
It could use some regression test cases.
