Comment:

 Indeed, `id` is already an alias for `term_id` here, and `ID` is now a
 third alias. While that seems a bit redundant, it adds  some consistency
 between the APIs despite the underlying database structure differences. I
 can see it both ways and don't necessarily object to the change. Would
 appreciate more opinions here.

 The documentation, however, needs some adjustment for consistency with
 that of `get_user_by()`.
