For the record, other usages of get_intarg are in ${(I[3])var/x/y} to replace
the 3rd occurrence, with again an ineffective:

                case 'I':
                    s++;
                    flnum = get_intarg(&s, &dellen);
                    if (flnum < 0)
                        goto flagerr;
                    s--;
                    break;

Here a negative value could be useful to replace the 3rd last occurrence.

And in $var:F[3]s/X/Y/ to repeat the substitution 3 times. This time no check
for negative values.
