Would this transparantly work for an item and a set consisting of 
one item?

Of course, expressing an integer a by min(a) is not
straighforward. I do not expect anybody writing this explicitly.
Nevertheless, it seems to be a valid case. I was wondering
whether it could be useful in generative programming in order to
avoid a special case somewhere.
