My personal opinion is that users will do this, and they will do it
often enough to justify it -- people who want a specific sorting will
use ASCII sorting anyway. Well, at least the majority of them.

Besides, from the users point of view I'd prefer to be in line with
the major OSes. Not doing so will cause confusion among users. I don't
think Windows treats leading zeros as intentional, and that is still
the major OS.
