 === Notes
 If you are testing the patch on `wp-env`:
 1. You may need to use this workaround to install WordPress on PHP 5.6:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/40745#issuecomment-1422471660
 2. Also, when creating a custom WordPress package, you will need to upload
 it to a server accessible from the Internet (I used GitHub). Otherwise,
 WordPress will not see it (due to `wp-env`).
