 Yea, sorry about that. There will be no difference between
 `wp_is_development_mode()` (no param) and `(bool)
 wp_get_development_mode()`  This ticket is just to make
 `wp_is_development_mode()` the best way to check whether dev. mode is
 enabled and a bit more consistent.

 Afaik the environment_type refers more to the server settings, etc. not to
 how WP would handle errors and warnings. WP_DEBUG may be used (and is
 used) in different cases and different environments. Some sites (without
 staging?) may perhaps enable it temporarily for debugging/to log errors.
