 Replying to [comment:62 valendesigns]:
 > However, since they are "Almost Pretty Permalinks" it seems we would be
 testing for something that isn't "Pretty Permalinks" during the
 verification process, and therefore not equal.

 Sure, they're not called the same thing in the Codex, but it's effectively
 the same thing, and doesn't require significant amounts of code.
 The user experience is far better though than a `?p=123`, so it seems
 worthwhile including it.

 I'd also rename `/some-random-404-page/` to `/wordpress-check-for-
 rewrites/` or something descriptive.

 > Pluggable functions are no longer being added to WordPress core. All new
 functions instead use filters on their output to allow for similar
 overriding of their functionality.

 This might be one of the locations that Pluggable functions are still
 expected, purely because of the `install.php` dropin that can be added,
 although I don't see the need to make it pluggable other than for
 consistency.
