For example, in Ruby...

  irb(main):001:0> require 'ipaddr'
  => true
  IPAddr.new("000.000.000.000").ipv4? 
  IPAddr::InvalidAddressError (zero-filled number in IPv4 address is ambiguous: 000.000.000.000)

Yup, I was paying attention to that. Note how adding a leading 0 to 192 made it 0300.

And people think this is easier than v6, where adding a 0 to db8 just makes it 0db8...?
