Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I agree with @johnbillion that this is a wontfix due to backward-
 compatibility concerns.

 The documentation could be improved to indicate:
 * A falsey value returns the current global post inside the loop
 * A numerically valid post ID that points to a non-existent post returns
 `null`.

 @Rahe You're right be the behavior of an invalid ID is a little
 inconsistent (0 returns the global, a negative number or float returns
 `null`). For valid IDs it's consistent but the return types differ.
