accepted as integers by FILTER_VALIDATE_INT. I think they should, because
we also accept non-canonical inputs such as "+5", i.e., we always accept a
sign. It's true that 0 is neither positive or negative, but I don't think
"accepts a leading sign, except if it's 0" is a good option. It's an
unnecessary special case.

I fully agree.
