I don't have an answer to this question. I will leave this to others.
If nobody has strong support for changing semantics, let's leave it as
is. Maybe keep in mind as potential ballast.
FWIW most likely misuse of 0 size for other future purposes should
manifest itself in a quite straightforward way.
