Comment (by antonvlasenko):

 **Updated description** for this ticket (I'm unable to change it with my
 .org account):
 `WP_List_Table`, `WP_User_Query`, and `WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table`
 classes implement some magic methods.
 But these magic methods need to be refactored to ensure that these classes
 are compatible with PHP 8.2 (the magic methods in these classes are only
 partially implemented, the missing/incomplete magic methods should be
 added/refactored).
 Also, developers should get a warning when they try to set (get) dynamic
 properties on objects of these classes.
 As for the `WP_Admin_Bar` class: an investigation is needed to decide
 whether `WP_Admin_Bar::__get()` can be removed.
