 simple and snatch - love that patch!

 tests went out very well!. maybe adding a comment there and giving an
 <example> on how to use?

 one thing that comes into my mind is, that while in this request, wp-
 config.php will not loaded any longer. so degrading to a global variable
 might be more flexible then using a constant.

 {{{
 /**
  * wp-settings.php is auto-loaded when the wp-config.php
  * is included.
  * defining WP_CONFIG_ONLY prevents that.
  */
 if ( defined('WP_CONFIG_ONLY') ) return;
 }}}
