Well Francois wanted to avoid to have to write "$7$" or "\text{7)"
instead of simply "7" in all sort of places. So I don't think a
solution which forces him to write "\seven" in all sort of places
"offers him the functionality he needs".

And are you really sure that your commands \zero, \one etc can be
used in all places where simple numbers are required. E.g. to you
tested if there works in \newcommand\mycommand[1]{#1}?
