 If we add `local`, plugin and theme developers could potentially use the
 following:

 {{{
 switch( wp_get_environment_type() ) {
     case 'local':
         // do something on local.
         break;
     case 'development':
         // do something on development.
         break;
     case 'staging':
         // do something on staging.
         break;
     case 'production':
         // do something on production.
         break;
     default:
         // do something when not defined, typically the same as
 production.
 }
 }}}

 And if we do not add `local` but instead rely on `WP_LOCAL_DEV`, an
 alternative could be

 {{{
 $environment_type = wp_get_environment_type();

 if ( defined( 'WP_LOCAL_DEV' ) && WP_LOCAL_DEV ) {
     // do something on local.
 } elseif ( 'development' === $environment_type ) {
     // do something on development.
 } elseif ( 'staging' === $environment_type ) {
     // do something on staging.
 } elseif ( 'production' === $environment_type ) {
     // do something on production.
 } else {
     // do something when not defined, typically the same as production.
 }
 }}}

 Does that sound about right?
