Too bad you don't take your own advice. It is not better to start an index
at zero. It is far, far better to start an index with the lowest value
needed. Let the compiler worry about making things more efficient for the
machine. The programmer has to worry about much more important things. Such
as delivering a low maintenance stable application on-time.
