Comment (by ryan):

 If the arg is not an object, it is cast to int. This disallows slugs, but
 that seems the only sane path.  get_term_link() is returned to what is was
 before since the phpdoc for says WP_Error can be returned and there are
 places in the code that explicitly check for a WP_Error return.
