Why is special-case handling needed here for `affine.min/max`? `isValidDim` is a prerequisite for constructing an `affine.for`. If the result doesn't match your expectation, the reason may be:

1. The transformation itself is invalid.
2. There is an issue with the `isValidDim` implementation, causing it to fail to achieve the expected behavior.
3. `isValidDim` is not being used correctly.
