FWIW, I find "whole numbers" confusing as a term for "natural numbers",
because it sounds to me like it refers to "integers".  Wikipedia claims
that the term is actually ambiguous and could mean either of those.

So I think the error type could be changed.  It's not the end of the
world to keep it though; when I last looked at it, we used it only in
one place.
