 wp-app.php redefines the pluggable wp_set_current_user().

 This means that plugins which redefine wp_set_current_user() don't work
 during a APP call.

 Also the redefined function is identical to the core function except that
 it calls neither setup_userdata() nor do_action( 'set_current_user' ).

 setup_userdata() defines some globals that plugins might rely on.  And
 defining globals is basically all it does, so it's not very expensive.

 The do_action( 'set_current_user' ) is important for plugins that need to
 sync user data, change caps, etc.

 I have no insight into why wp-app.php needs to redefine the function.
