 There is not a direct, reliable way to access the current user's ID.  You
 either have to get the user object and then the ID property if present, or
 assume that the $current_user global is populated already (and that's not
 a reliable assumption).

 `get_current_user_id` is the perfect solution and existed (imperfectly) in
 MU.  Rather than deprecating it, we should move it to general WP and make
 it use the WP pluggable user functions.
