I feel like the world has gone through some strange warp.  Back when I
was studying numerical analysis the complaint from the mathematicians
and numerical analysts was about how awkward it was to code algorithms
in Fortran-IV because it used origin 1 indexing and origin 0 would
clearly have been so much more "natural".
