 Replying to [comment:6 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > Could that be about the `WP_Post::post_author` and
 `WP_Post::comment_count` properties in #22324? They were indeed left as a
 string at the time for backward compatibility.

 The slack discussion mentions term IDs, I remember because I was sitting
 next to a theme author who discovered the type change when they had
 something along the lines of `get_option( 'my_special_term_id' ) === /* a
 term ID */` in their code

 > In this ticket, we're not changing the type of properties, just making
 sure they always match the documented type.

 Excellent. In that case, I expect it's not a problem for this ticket and
 the solution at the time was a dev note.
