Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Hi @ruud at joyo - From what I can see, passing `term_id` as part of the
 `$args` array will *already* be ignored. The only `$args` values that do
 anything are: 'name', 'description', 'parent', 'term_group'.

 The "Care must be taken..." line is another one that doesn't make much
 sense for modern WordPress. We use `$args` from a whitelist. It's not
 possible to modify existing terms in way other than these whitelisted
 arguments. Maybe what's meant is: if you don't want to change the
 'description' field, don't pass a 'description' key, etc. If so, this
 could use some rewording. Originally added in [8164].
