 Hi,

 I noticed that the get_option() function now returns the value type it was
 originally given (ex. I give an INT in update_option(), then get_option()
 returns an INT).

 But the doc doesn't seems to agree with that:

 **wp-includes/option.php**:
 {{{
 * Any scalar values will be returned as strings.
 }}}

 This text seems to be there for historical reasons
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31820) and something changed in
 the code since then, but I can't find the related commit.

 Proposed text to fix the doc:
 {{{
 * This function is type-aware: the return type will be the same as the
 last given input value.
 }}}

 Thx!
