Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 @scribu - It is, I just believe that if $maybeint contains non-numeric
 characters it should return zero to avoid canonical issues with the values
 it deals with. Otherwise, a significant number of absint usages in WP Core
 would need additional checks to prevent the usage of non-numeric
 characters in their values.
