My-Tien Nguyen <my-tien.ngu...@ariadne.ai> added the comment:

I don’t think, “other languages do that too” is a good argument here. This 
would apply if behaving differently would break user expectation. But here we 
would do nothing more than explicitly inform the user of a relevant operation. 
If they already expected that behaviour, they can disregard the warning.

I don’t see how `parse_int`would help me here, I would need a `parse_str=int`, 
but then it would try to parse every string, and I don’t see the use case for 
that.

I would suggest a warning similar to this:
