Works for me. In Sage 8.7.beta1 with Python 3.6.6, I get
  sage: gap(0)
  0
  sage: gap('0')
  0

I think this would be a good idea in the long run, however would require
a deprecation period. After all, libgap is not a drop-in replacement of
gap, and I talk from experience (authoring the p_group_cohomology spkg)
when I say that the transition from gap to libgap isn't trivial (but is
a good idea).

Best regards,
Simon
