  These are primitive abstractions for insurance that will be
  improved upon over time.

  Some notable TODOs:

  \begin{enumerate}
    \item Enforce naming convention;
    \item Support scalar results;
    \item Fail on zero premium unless explicitly stated;
    \item Fail on negative premium (use a credit template);
    \item Rounding direction (currently only nearest); and
    \item Credit and surcharge.
  \end{enumerate}

  \todo{Template to abstract these {\tt rate-each} generation
  templates.}

  \ref{_factor_} defines a calculation that results in a factor
    which will later be used in a product.
  There are special considerations for these types of values---%
    generally, they should not have a value of~$0$ if some sort of calculation
      condition or lookup is not met,
        as that would have the effect of wiping out premium.
  If zero is desired,
    \tt{@allow-zero@} must be set to \tt{true} to explicitly permit it.
