Comment:

 I'd question the usefulness of "wp_redirect_and_exit". It's not shorter
 than simply calling wp_redirect then exiting, and the only people using it
 would be those who know it exist, and why it exists, which means they know
 that they need to exit. And given its shorter to write wp_redirect then
 exit, no one would use it since those who know the function wouldn't use
 it, and those who don't know the function wouldn't use it either (since
 they won't know it exists). The only way this could be useful is if it was
 called something shorter and anything shorter won't be intuitively named
 as pointed out above.
