Comment:

 [attachment: 31820.diff] changes the doc to show the return value is a
 string. If you do need to force something to be an int you could do
 something like

 {{{
 function force_int( $value ) {
    if ( is_numeric( $value ) ) {
        return (int) $value;
    }
 }
 add_filter( 'option_your_option_name', 'force_int' );

 }}}
