It should be noted that the location parameter changes the support domain *as a consequence* of the above transformation. Changing the support domain (and holding everything else fixed) is not the defining characteristic of the location parameter.
Got the point. I'll make a mental note to mention that in the docs. I'm switching to "meh" mode: I still think that allowing for the shift can lead to some troubles on the user, and I'd be in favor to modify _fix_loc_scale or something like that to force loc=0 on discrete distributions with support on positive integers, but I'll certainly not lose any sleep other that... In any case, thx a lot to y'all for your comments.
