 As a matter of convenience and even to provide a small amount of
 resilience to the `$wpdb` global, it makes sense that we provide a utility
 to function to return it. This would allow things like:

 {{{
 wpdb()->get_col( wpdb()->prepare() );
 }}}
 etc.

 the entirety of the patch looks like:

 {{{
 function wpdb() {
         global $wpdb;
         return $wpdb;
 }
 }}}
