>From 3.2 in the Reference Manual "The Standard Type Hierarchy":
"Integers
These represent elements from the mathematical set of whole
numbers."
The generally recognized definition of a 'whole number' is zero and the
positive integers. That is to say, -1 is not a whole number. The
documentation ought to replace "whole numbers" with "integers".
