Comment:
The WCAG Color contrast checker Chrome extension's foreground color
calculations seem inaccurate for this element; Firefox tells me the ratios
are 5.12:1 in Modern and 4.54:1 in Fresh.
However, in the `:focus` and `:hover` states, half-opacity is almost
guaranteed to have insufficient contrast. The styles theoretically could
change opacity on those states, but I like the simplicity of PR 11186.
The `count-0` class remains on the element, so anyone who chooses can
still change the opacity or hide the zero (or use `:not(.count-0)` to call
attention to non-zero numbers).
