Comment (by dd32):

 Some core options have pre-save sanitization hooks, most numeric core
 options have intval() as their sanitizer.

 In general, WordPress treats all Identifiers as numeric strings, most
 functions will return either a numeric string, or a literal integer.
 As a result, === shouldn't be used for comparison of core numeric ID's.

 The ticket I linked to, is the opposite of this.. If you save an option
 with an Int value, it'll return as the numeric string representation.
