According to the docs], `show_in_menu` only accepts `bool` or `string`.
`int` values are not accepted and I can't see a reason of why they should
be accepted.
If you can provide an use case on where switch to `int` could be valuable,
maybe this could be reconsidered, but just asking to change for the sake
of changing it its not a great idea.
I'm closing this as `invalid`. Feel free to reopen it, if you happen to
have a use case to better showcase the need of this improvement
