 get_the_time utilizes get_the_post, get_the_post uses mysql2date,
 mysql2date can return a string or an int in the specific case that an Unix
 timestamp is requested.

 ( * @return string|int Formatted date string, or Unix timestamp. )

 In the added patch I've changed the inline documentation to better reflect
 that possibility.

 Of course via the filters they can return also other types.., but I don't
 know how that is supposed to be handled with the inline docs.
