No, this is not correct. If the nodes are far apart, there's nothing
that forbids the discount at a node to be less than half of the previous
value; yet you're preventing such a curve from bootstrapping.
If the minimum at 0 was wrecking havoc on the spline, we could use the
other solve() method in Solver1D, namely, the one that takes a guess and
a step and tries to bracket the solution on its own. It's going to be
slower, but probably more robust.
