I believe this is the preferred way to say it, for example that's what
we do in `natnump', and Wikipedia says:

    [...] the standard ISO 80000-2,[4][a] begin the natural numbers with
    0, corresponding to the non-negative integers 0, 1, 2, 3, ...,

But I don't feel very strongly about it; either way seems clear to me.
