get_option return value wrong

[malthert]

​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_option/

says it can return scalar including integer, which is false.

get_option can only return:
bool|null|string|array|object

Need to fix in phpdoc and documentation.

EDIT, it's actually:
bool|string|array|object

Only if $default is set to null (or int/float) then it can return those, in case the option isn't found. However this is misleading in the documentation

[johnbillion]

This function can return a value of any type because of the $default parameter:

get_option( 'i_dont_exist', 123 );

The @return documentation could do with improvement here but the return types look correct.

Just @psalm-param it now in my stubs with a conditional ? return type
