 In plugin development, we can handle POST requests through the `admin-
 post.php` file. This file is looking after an input with a name of
 `action` so we can register a custom hook to handle the POST request.

 After looking at the WP_List_Table, the bulk "select" '''top''' tag has a
 name attribute of `action`. So for custom development, the form where the
 list table fit can easily point to `admin-post.php` and we can handle the
 bulk POST request through a custom hook and it works.

 But here is the issue, if users use the "select" '''bottom''' tag for
 their bulk action, it won't work because the bottom select tag has a name
 attribute of `action2`. So if a POST request to `admin-post.php`, we can
 no longer listen to a custom hook to manipulate the request and its data.

 So I'm asking if it will be ok to update the `admin-post.php` file to
 check after a `$_REQUEST['action2']` as well?
