 The ``system`` module defines the important `Natural <system.html#Natural>`_

-integers for natural numbers. This is often **wrong**: you don't want unsigned

 arithmetic (which wraps around) just because the numbers cannot be negative.
 Nim's ``Natural`` type helps to avoid this common programming error.
