 In [changeset:"37324"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37324"
 Query: Discard non-scalar 'm' instead of attempting to sanitize.

 `WP_Query` discards most non-array date values ('year', 'monthnum', etc)
 by
 casting to integer. Since [25138], the 'm' parameter has been handled
 as a string; see #24884. However, the string-handling introduced in
 [25138]
 blindly attempted to handle arrays and other non-scalar types as strings,
 resulting in PHP notices and invalid MySQL syntax.

 Props vortfu.
 Fixes #36718.
