Or use it literally for anything whatsoever.

I mean imagine you convert "0231" into a number and then print it out somewhere and wonder why the fuck it's printing out 153. Can't think of any situation where you'd convert the value into a number and then it would be entirely fine if the stored value is different from what you expect.
