We frequently use -1 as default-value in titling-init.ly like
(chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1)

The sense for negative first-page-number:
If you want to start the music on a page with page-number 1, but have a  
title-page, a second page with table of contents and maybe a third page  
with some preamble before, you'll set first-page-number to -2 and exclude  
printing the negative and zero numbers by setting page-headers/footers in  
bookparts accordingly.

Right now I have no idea how to reach this goal different.
