Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 The comment for `SECRET_KEY` in [6471] can easily be confusing for someone
 who doesn't know PHP. I'm betting many people would replace the text
 "`SECRET_KEY`" with their key rather correctly defining the constant.

 The comment should be changed, or even better, perhaps using some example
 text like "`uniquephrasehere`" and then have WP ignore/unset the key
 constant if it's left at that.
