 Replying to [comment:5 TobiasBg]:
 > @DrewAPicture: What kind of docs do you have in mind here? Just
 something simple like `// Sanity check.` for each of the changes?

 Something like that. And it looks like there's an errant `\` on the first
 line of src/wp-admin/includes/nav-menu.php in the patch.

 Also, while I agree we should be doing these sanity checks, it's not
 exactly DRY to be explicitly checking false and assigning `[]` all over
 the place.

 I realize that `wp_json_encode()` has parameter parity with
 `json_encode()` but it might be worth exploring adding a fourth parameter
 for the sanity check return. It would be a lot cleaner and could cover
 most of these cases.
