That works just fine. 'figure' is already working such that if the
number of input arguments is uneven, the first input argument needs to
be a number or a figure handle. I just added the check that if the input
is a string it is converted to a number. So, the change is not very
intrusive and should pretty much just work.
It is still bad style to pass a string instead of a number, though...
