"no change" as invalid values will still be changed to 0.

the number of pages (at least in 1.4svn) wasn't so high

I've preferred is_numeric because it checks if variable is a numeric
string or a number.
The reason for is_numeric/other check is because of sanitizing "ugly"
"accidental" values
and number (even in scientific form) can cause no harm at all. Also
is_numeric was
my first thought and it works :)

in 1.4svn2008-11-27: plugins/delete_move_next/setup.php:
function delete_move_next_read: lines 169-173

in 1.5svn2008-11-27: there is no delete_move_next plugin and also I've
found no arithmetic
operators (just quick search).

so... arithmetic operators are used only in 1.4 in delete_move_next
plugin, but this is the
version I need to fix the most (can't take devel version into on the
production hosts).
