Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 A more valid use case for this might be if you're passing the
 `post_per_page` value through `absint()` or similar and zero gets
 returned.

 I can follow the logic of -1 = unlimited, or 1 = 1, 2 = 2 and so on. So
 it's odd that we say, "Oh, by the way, 0 doesn't equal 0 here, it actually
 equals this other thing over there."

 It kind of stands to reason that if I pass 0 I'd expect to get 0 results,
 intentional or not. Just sayin'.
