Yeah. Tom proposed if (foo <= 0) { error:"foo must be greater than
zero" } at [1]. In the subsequent messages both Michael and I agreed
with that. But we also have cases like  if (foo < 0) for which I think
{ error:"foo must be greater than or equal to zero" } would be better,
similar to what's proposed. Please feel free to provide your thoughts
there in that thread.
