When viewing or downloading results for surveys, I see
admins getting confused by responses to 'rank'
questions. The confusion is that a suer gets to choose
between 1...x but the responses are stored as 0...x-1.
This mismatch coudl be easily avoided by storing the
responses starting at 1 instead of 0.

    Doing so would break compatability with the existing data.
    Perhaps it would be adequate to just have the CSV exporter
    shift the values.

    shifting values in CSV export would be fine with me.

    An alternative would be to ship a SQL statement when the
    commit happens so folks can update their data.
