Correction to wp_insert_term() documentation

[prettyboymp]

After tracing through the code to see if I actually could use the wp_insert_term() method to add an existing term in a new taxonomy by it's id, I found that the method's documentation for its $term was incorrect in accepting an INT value for the $term parameter. It is cast as a string within the function so a term_id can't be passed in for this param as one would suspect given the docs.

Inline docs remain fine for 3.0, in fact they are encouraged.

This also reveals some dead code in there:

if ( is_int($term) && 0 == $term )
	return new WP_Error('invalid_term_id', __('Invalid term ID'));

That should be removed if the rest of the function doesn't support term IDs.

I'm going to pass this off to dd32 for a review. I think we're good to both fix the docs and remove the dead code.

I'm going to pass this off to dd32 for a review.

And i've only just got to the wp-trac email to see this.

I remember seeing that same code and questioning what it did, But left it for lack of knowledge of what it did.. So your guess is as good as mine in this case.
