There is no convention whether zero is a natural number, so let's avoid the issue. For example, see: - https://mathworld.wolfram.com/NaturalNumber.html - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number - https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/283/is-0-a-natural-number The previous wording of ``` "description": "Zero is rejected (not a natural number)", ``` could be especially jarring for some tracks. For example, Nim defines `Natural` and `Positive` types, and `Natural` includes 0.
