Logically, Qian is right, but I often avoid NNI or PI, because then I would have to write qcoerce(n::Integer - 1)@PI just to get the types right while working in PI and knowing that n-1 will be positive. I would support Qian, if a-b inside PI or NNI could be written in a more natural way. (I still don't like SubDomain, since inheritance of the function signatures is not clear.) > Also changing recursion to loops seem to complicated code. Since we have restricted recursion depth and I've already had problems with deep recursion, I am in favour of loops-instead-recursion. Maybe, at some places it would be a good idea to hint in the comments at the recursive nature of the loop, if the recursive way looks much simpler.
