 Currently e.g. esc_html only accepts strings.
 Internally it casts any type to string (in wp_check_invalid_utf8)

 Since phpcs WordPress is not a static analysis tool, it will report error
 for required use of esc_html on int/float too.
 Putting esc_html for int/float then will cause errors with static analysis
 tools (psalm) however.

 I think the sensible (and correct) solution would be, to change the param
 and return type for esc_html and esc_attr to string|int|float

 I can provide the PR if needed.
