Lifting limits on display options: None vs 0 vs Inf ?

[amelio-vazquez-reina]

When lifting limits on display options, for some of them one can use None:

display.max_columns = None
display.display.max_rows = None
display.width = None

but for other options, Pandas complains if you use None returning ValueError: Value must have type '<type 'int'>', so you have to use 0

display.max_col_width = 0

Is this intentional? If so, what is the rationale behind it?

their are validations on each of the options; in general 0 and None SHOULD be treated the same (unless a very good reason, which I don't think is true for any).

inf is a different case though; hmm, what should/does take inf? (and maybe should/should not)

can you do a survey of those which need fixing?

bonus points for a PR to test/fix all!

Thanks for the request, but it appears this hasn't gain traction in a while so closing
