Comment:

 1.)
 @joshuaavalon is right.

 {{{metaWeblog.getRecentPosts}}} should return the same struct with the
 same data type as {{{metaWeblog.getPost}}}. The codex entry for
 {{{metaWeblog.getRecentPosts}}} says "struct: see #metaWeblog.getPost for
 fields".

 2.)
 Once the modified API code is committed, the sentence "Note that the
 returned postid is string instead of an integer." will need to be removed.

 https://codex.wordpress.org/XML-
 RPC_MetaWeblog_API#metaWeblog.getRecentPosts

 From a different perspective, doesn't the lack of such sentence in the
 original doc implies the two functions share the same data types?

 3.)
 I've uploaded a patch.
