Comment:

 This was an intentional change to `get_post()` in 4.7 - passing an invalid
 parameter may have previously returned a result, but it could've been an
 incorrect resource, for example, a value being cast to a numeric `1` and
 fetching from the incorrect post.

 `get_post( 123 )` is the same as `get_post( '123' )`  but not the same as
 `get_post( "  123  " )` (Which now fails) IMHO, so I agree with the
 change, especially in this case.

 For reference, see #37738
