Comment:

 Hi Majemedia. Thanks for the ticket. I just wanted to double-check that
 the issue you're referring to is that `term_id` is a `string` instead of a
 `number`? Is that causing any specific issues for you?

 `term_id` being a string is a known issue. Unfortunately changing this
 would break backwards compatibility.
