I don't want to feel like //John Connor... hunted by a bot that comes
after my edits and reverts them only because I entered 123.45 for a
property that should be an integer.

It is either obvious that they should be entering only
integers or
positive numbers, in which case such feedback isn't helpful, or it
might end up being too restrictive again. Who tells me that a system
like this won't get used in order to force cities to have a population
of an integer bigger than 10,000?
I understand the wish and desire to restrict user input, but I would
like to remind everyone that Wikidata comes from the wiki side, which
adheres more to the 'let's gather input and then verify it' than the
'let's make everyone give us correct input in the first place' side.

The problem I see with this practice is that a

any feedback
that he is entering 'invalid' values.
