 Currently the REST API only supports `string`, `number` and `boolean` for
 metadata and options (in other words, the `type` argument you specify in
 `register_meta()` and `register_setting()` respectively). However, JSON
 schema also supports `integer` in addition, so I think it's essential we
 need to support it as well (`number` means float, for that matter).

 To make it easier for PHP developers, we could even consider supporting
 `float` (and automatically adjust that to `number`), since the term
 `number` doesn't sound too specific regarding its actual scalar type.
