Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Related: @johnjamesjacoby did some research around large numbers in

 I'm not overly worried about extra function calls as doing so is a micro-
 optimisation when WP could be optimised in more effective ways.

 Using this in a way that breaks backward compat is a bigger concern.
