I don't know who "you" is in this context: if you
meant "me" -- I do consider zero as a number, even
as a natural number (many influences conspirated
towards that). My point rather is:
- "number" is pretty vague, and in this context
often used sloppily [1] as "natural number",
sometimes also for "whole number". There are
many other "numbers"
- not everyone considers zero as a natural number
(even mathematicians "disagree" on that: it
seems to vary from faculty to faculty)
- you need some amount of sloppiness to make a
documentation even viable.
