Comment (by siliconforks):

 Replying to [comment:2 SirLouen]:
 > What is weirder for me, is the force conversion to an array of
 `$old_posts` as `get_col` is always an array according to the phpdoc
 definition.

 `foreach ( (array) ...` is a very common PHP idiom - it is used several
 hundred times throughout the WordPress codebase:

 {{{
 $ grep 'foreach *( *( *array' -r wordpress-develop/src | wc -l
 334
 }}}

 Many people probably write it that way out of habit (even for situations
 like this one where it does not actually do anything, since `$old_posts`
 should always be an array).
