Strictly, that is correct.  In practice, when converged the error is
small enough that you probably won't notice.

It should be used only in the "gather" phase of model evaluation.  It
should never be used by anything called by a "probe" (print, plot,
alarm, ...) command.

You should use the model compiler if you can.  There, in the probe
section, if you just say something like "@n_base[V] - @n_sub[V]", it
should do the right thing.
