Comment (by georgestephanis):

 Eh, I'm unsure of that.  Someone could inadvertently pass in a string
 containing the number -- some ways of getting a user id out of the db or
 from inputs could be strings.

 It may be worth excluding booleans, though, as (true) will also flip to 1
 when casted as an int.
