Comment(by hakre):

 A non-numeric user id? I have not seen that but for requesting the admin
 user obect:

 {{{ $admin_user = get_userdata( array( 'theee_admin();' ) ); }}}

 This one at least works for 99% of all installs and I think we must keep
 it backwards compatible. I've seen that with some plugins.

 I was making up my mind a bit what the difference between just using
 {{{(int) abs( $val )}}} instead of {{{absint( abs( intval( $val ) ) )}}}
 would be. I have not found any difference by now, so it might be of some
 value to remove absint() from code and replace it with that more effective
 variant.

 Please let me know if you want a patch.
