Not sure I follow here: if max_rows is given as argument, then
it should limit the number of rows in the result set. Passing
in a value of 0 will result in no rows being returned.

Depends on what you expect :-) Assigning a special value to
0 is not very useful either.

Passing None as max_rows to mean "no limits" is much more
meaningful here, IMHO.
