Comment (by azaozz):

 Wouldn't it be clearer to use the "math" language there: "Converts value
 to absolute integer."

 Looking at how this is used, perhaps we need something different there.
 Currently `absint(100)` returns 100, `absint(-100)` returns 100 too but is
 used to filter various db IDs where -100 is an invalid value. Perhaps we
 need something like:
 {{{
 function absint( $maybeint ) {
   if ( intval( $maybeint ) < 1 )
     return 0;

   return intval( $maybeint );
 }
 }}}
