 Replying to [comment:10 flixos90]:
 > Couldn't we, only for the new properties, ensure that when they're read
 they return an integer? And then, when setting the property, ensure it's a
 string? That would give the new properties a matching type while
 preserving backwards-compatibility with the old properties. Or am I
 missing something here?

 My first thought was that the juggling seems a little out of place for how
 much strict typing we **don't** do in core. However, future endpoints will
 likely treat `id` as `int` and the DB schema already does, so it probably
 won't hurt.
