 Replying to [comment:19 Clorith]:

 The difficulty, again, is in determining just how "commonplace" something
 is.

 In this particular case, the example given by @jrf is especially crafted
 to demonstrate a potential problem of PHP doing weird things with
 deliberate type casting (without it, the answer is correct and can be
 further adjusted with round() or floor()). Hopefully, the WordPress Core
 (and plugin/theme) developers do the latter.
