So we're considering removing the `Natural` class and using `Integer` for sequence indices. `Subtractable` would also be removed. See the discussion in this thread:

I've already done most of the work needed for this in branches of the ceylon/ceylon-spec and ceylon/ceylon.language projects. Tako is working on a branch of ceylon/ceylon-compiler. So we should be able to roll this change into M1.

But first I need to get the OK from everyone else here that this is the right thing to do, and that we should go ahead and merge the branches.

Feedback?
