 probably the wrong way to go here].
 Probably, or is the wrong way to go? I would prefer a `function_exists`
 check around all functions, but that's just my preference and one I'm
 willing change if needed. Where did you read or hear that it's an anti-
 pattern? If we remove the `function_exists` then I suggest we include a
 filter on the URL or an action at the end, or both. Something to make it
 extensible.

 > @valendesigns: FYI, in 6481.8.diff​ I've made a couple of tweaks to fix
 documentation and coding standards syntax:
 Thank you! I'm still new around here so there are some coding nuances I
 still need to get use to.

 > What about PATHINFO links?
 I don't see how `pathinfo()` would benefit us in this situation. We're
 trying to establish a fake, but valid URI, not information about a file
 path; you must know a trick that I've not seen before. In any case, as
 long as we can count on the 404 `x-pingback` header then we're good.
 However, if you think that's not the case, we should definitely add a
 second check to fallback on.
