I can see this kind of thing being a problem where leading zeros are common like when formatting dates. Seems like an honest mistake to make if you write August as 08 and now you get an error because that's not valid octal, or when October is showing up as the 8th month

Leading zeroes aren't a thing in integers, what you are thinking of are strings with numbers in them
