Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Should `get_the_author()` get the same parameter for consistency?

 It used to have an `$idmode` parameter, which was deprecated in [4146] /
 #2386. Since it only accepted a string, I think we should be able to un-
 deprecate and use it if an integer post ID or a `WP_Post` object is
 passed. There is a precedent for something like this, see [47366] /
 #48772.
