--------------------------------+--------------------
 All functions alphabetically after `rest_get_authenticated_app_password()`
 are truncated from the list found here
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/page/49/ . Based on
 discussions in slack
 (https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM/p1664772852191199), this
 is by design: all results past page 50 are silently dropped, because
 search engines.

 This ticket isn't about the dropping. This ticket is about the list being
 truncated without any indication that a) there *are* missing results, and
 b) the missing results can only be seen if the user logs in. The complete
 lack of feedback for non-logged-in users creates the impression of a
 broken site.

 My suggestion is to implement a message along the lines of, "Please log in
 to see all results."
