I misspoke on the issue of boundaries, which we had right, but there
was another bug that's now fixed.  We also fixed the >=/c implies
real? bug.

So to summarize, Asumu's program now verifies:

  (module fact racket
    (define (factorial x)
      (if (zero? x)
          1
          (* x (factorial (sub1 x)))))

    (provide
      (contract-out
        [factorial (-> (>=/c 0) (>=/c 0))])))

A slight variant that uses unsafe contracts will generate
counterexamples causing fact to be blamed:

  (module fact racket
    (define (factorial x)
      (if (zero? x)
          1
          (* x (factorial (sub1 x)))))

    (provide
     (contract-out
      [factorial (-> (λ (x) (>= x 0))
                     (λ (x) (>= x 0)))])))

The counterexample is:

 (module user racket
   (require (submod ".." fact))
   (begin (struct s₃ ()) (factorial (s₃))))
