Comment (by scribu):

 From the PHP manual on is_numeric():

 > Finds whether the given variable is numeric. Numeric strings consist of
 optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and optional
 exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal
 notation (0xFF) is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and
 exponential part.

 This could cause subtle bugs.
