Comment (by knutsp):

 Use cases:

 1. Security, protection against extensions messing with things they should
 not.

 2. Agencies/developers setting up sites for clients with warranty and/or
 support, and still letting the client be administrator to be able to
 manage plugins, themes and other options than the above. Restricting the
 above settings for admin is complicated.

 These constants should ''not'' be introduced in `wp-config-sample.php` so
 I suggest limiting this ticket to just let those constants have the
 desired effect, like most other constants.

 1. Make the controls in settings page be disabled.
 2. Removed from accepted keys when posting to options.php.
 3. Protect options from being filtered or saved through set_option.

 I am fully aware this is not security from malicous code, as the database
 is fully open to any extension. This is against unintended or clueless
 messing up, like setting default role to Administrator and open
 registration.

 A `WP_SITE_LANGUAGE` should also be in. Deprecated `WP_LANG` was (is
 still?) for adding new translations, or if not, it can be reintroduced to
 lock the site language. Users have their own personal language setting.
