 > If someone passes a (string)'1' in as the term_id, they're doing it
 wrong, OR an API call is returning the data in the incorrect format.

 For the record, my example showing `'1'` was for simplicity of example; my
 use-cases have been being returned as a string from something else, like
 `$_GET['term_id']`.

 > The correct fix here, is to verify that ALL term objects being returned
 return the term_id as a integer, that'll fix most of these casting
 problems (ie. It may return a string '1' instead of (int)1)

 WordPress can't force `$_GET['term_id']` to return a numeric.  Sure the
 developer can cast it as `(int)`, but they have to know that it needs to
 be cast; hence the crux of the problem.
