'figure' does not accept 0 as argument

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello All,

I've noticed this behavior:
"

octave:1> figure(0)
warning: get: invalid property `type'
error: figure: expecting figure handle or figure number
error: evaluating if command near line 41, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 39, column 3
error: called from `figure' in file
`/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/octave-3.0.0/share/octave/3.0.0/m/plot/figure.m'
octave:1> figure(1)
octave:2>
".

Well, still, 0 is an integer number, so I do not understand the "figure number" part in
"error: figure: expecting figure handle or figure number" message.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
