Research direction

Start by locating the compiler entry point that validates component property types and the existing integer-type tests. Add the positive-integer property type so valid positive values are accepted and non-positive values are reported as compiler errors. Done means the behavior is covered by tests and documented consistently with the other property types.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you added :integer_positive type for component properties, it would be just great! Very often, components require just such a property, and writing a check on it every time is unnecessary work. It is much better if the compiler informs the coder about the incorrect value.
