Hmm, I've never thought about this case. However, if I understand
things right, it is well defined and we should support it.
My understanding is that we are talking about mapping functions here
that are constant. That's maybe a bit unusual, but covered by the
'theory' explained in the manual.
We have warnings in the manual that the increments for a dimension can
be negative and that people should be prepared for that. We should
extend those warnings to zero increments. (And probably review our
own code.)
