Comment:

 This will need unit tests.

 Also, the `foreach` loop in the patch can be replaced with something
 simpler, like this:

 `$terms_to_exclude = implode( ', ', array_map( 'absint', array_keys(
 $term_hierarchy ) ) );`

 Finally, I'm not entirely convinced this argument is very useful. It can
 be manually implemented with minimal code:

 {{{
 $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, array(
   'exclude' => array_keys( _get_term_hierarchy( $taxonomy ) )
 ) );
 }}}
