Comment (by aiyaz):

 Hi John,

 Yes, I agree that `add_role()` expects a string as a parameter but when I
 passed an integer, the role has been created but when I assigned that role
 to any users, it doesn't show into the top filter.

 actually, I'm looking for this because, I've synchronized user role with
 external membership API and they are maintaining membership id as an
 integer so to avoid an alias kind of thing, I need a patch that works with
 integer and string as a role name in `add_role` function.
