While I was looking in to this, I discovered that the manpage documents
this behaviour:
"Otherwise, if an argument begins with a digit, it is assumed to be a
decimal number."
I propose to leave it this way. The behaviour is documented. If given
this input the program does as the manpage advertises ("assumes it's a
decimal number") then I don't see the problem. It's the own risk of the
user to pass nonsensical input into the program, but the program still
behaves as advertised. Everything ok.
