Comment (by westi):

 Replying to [comment:23 maxcutler]:
 > `get_term`/`get_term_by` return all field values as `string`s, even
 though some represent `int`s. For example, `count` and the various IDs
 (`term_id`, `parent`, `term_group`, `term_taxonomy_id`). Should we cast
 these fields to `int` in `_prepare_term`?

 We should explicitly cast everything to whatever we want it returned as
 IMHO so as to future proof the code against internal api changes (in the
 past these have accidentally changed the datatypes returned by XMLRPC).

 For anything where the db schema supports values larger than XML-RPC for
 Integers we should return them as strings to be safe.
