 Reported by @djbu on [https://ru.wordpress.org/support/topic/a-non-
 numeric-value-encountered-in-wp-includes-pomo-streams-php-on-line-21/
 support forums].

 If a web host has the `mbstring.func_overload` PHP value set to something
 other than a numeric string (e.g. an empty string instead of the default
 `'0'` value), you'll see warnings like this in the error log:
 {{{
 PHP Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in .../wp-
 includes/functions.php on line 6746
 PHP Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in .../wp-
 includes/pomo/streams.php on line 21
 }}}

 This is obviously an edge case, but we can easily avoid the warning be
 casting the value to `(int)` before checking.
