Summary	0000979: It would be good if property_value recognized that -m 0 requests all bytes, not zero bytes
Description	I'm posting this because I don't see a way of commenting on http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=846 I looked for an empty text box, a button or label saying "Reply", and maybe because the bug is closed, I can't reply. But this is problematic. In Komodo, all the other languages implement '-m 0' as a request for all bytes. The assumption is that if you really wanted 0 bytes, why would you make this request? So '0' must mean something else.... I see that the breakage from older behaviour is due to the removal of the 'options->max_data == 0' test in xdebug_var_export_xml_node, so xdebug used to make the same assumption every other language engine I'm familiar with does. Please reinstate it.
