 Replying to [comment:63 schlessera]:
 > This is not true, and as every major framework uses containers, PHPStorm
 has several ways of providing type inspection for them. For a very simple
 way of adding this, see the article here:
 https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Advanced+Metadata

 Yeah, I was afraid that would be offered up as "the solution."  As you can
 see, [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-27830 I have been aware of
 this capability for a while], and in that link you can see that I think
 the way PhpStorm implements it is over-the-top complicated and it is very
 unlikely that most plugin or theme developers will master it.

 And yes `WP::get()` is in core but if included in core it would define the
 pattern that many developers would mimic in their own plugins and themes
 and thus create proliferation of code that PhpStorm would flag with
 errors.
