Comment (by gdespoulain):

 Thanks for the insight @boonebgorges :)

 I did some more unit testing with ''$wp_object_cache->flush()'' to
 simulate the page reload and indeed, I can confirm the values are then
 returned as strings.

 It's a good idea to update the documentation in order to reflect this
 behavior... but on the other hand, I'm a little disturbed by said
 behavior...

 Maybe it would be better that the return type stay consistent, whatever
 the use case? So that it's more reliable?

 Regards
