Comment (by nacin):

 I have absolutely zero desire to work around these issues.

 absint() is simply a wrapper for (int) and abs(). What about all of the
 times we're already using (int) instead? What about all of the times we
 should be using (int) instead? I struggle to see us wanting to do anything
 along these lines. Do any other PHP projects decide to not trust int
 casts? Should we just abandon PHP at this point? Or abandon 32-bit
 systems? Or, hell, 64-bit systems?

 Cool bug, and an interesting mess, but wontfix.
