Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 This is excellent!

 I have a thought about the new method names (`get_current_locale`,
 `get_current_user_id`). Apologies for it being after-commit 😔 and for
 maybe digging up an old conversation…

 Does `_current_` convey “global state”, even when used within the confines
 of a class or Namespace?

 Seems like existing global functions that start with `get_current_` or
 `restore_current_` established a pattern that “current” could be either
 “switched” or “originating” depending on the caller.

 Is this, perhaps, a decent opportunity to establish a more
 intentional/explicit/strict naming pattern to differentiate things that
 are “currently switched” from “reset back to what we started with” ?
