Comment (by iandunn):

 [attachment:40702-geoip.4.diff] combines [attachment:40702-geoip.3.diff]
 with [attachment:40702-request-args.diff] from @coreymckrill. The former
 can take advantage of the fact that the latter makes `$request_args`
 available, and using that variable makes a couple places in the code more
 intuitive and readable, as opposed to getting the same values from less
 obvious sources.

 See comment:63 and comment:64 for the details on those patches.

 This patch also 2 bugs in [attachment:40702-geoip.3.diff]:
 1. An edge case where a `WP_Error` object was treated as an array.
 1. An edge case where an IP value of `false` would be saved to the
 database, and could never be overwritten with a valid IP.
