Technically, yes. What is. your motivation? βStrideβ is a well-establish word when working with arrays and memory buffers.
In computer programming, the stride of an array (also referred to as increment, pitch or step size) is the number of locations in memory between beginnings of successive array elements, measured in bytes or in units of the size of the array's elements.

The motivation is to use simple word which much friendly to non-English speakers :)
And also consistency between proposals, slice notation currently use step
.

I also prefer stride as a well-established term of art.

The term "stride" means "width of a step", so it is the correct term here, while "step" is not. While "interval" is correct ("distance between objects"), the term "stride" has been used extensivly to describe the bytes between the current and next valid pointer values.
The term "pitch" is ussually used as the "stride" between arrays in a multidimentional array, such as an image buffer with a width and height. Both "pitch" and "stride" ussually mean byte lengths, not element lengths.
