Comment:

 Three things:

 I'm pretty sure we use .htaccess in more places than that. A very quick
 grep finds 33 matches in five files, though many of those are in strings,
 variable names, or inline documentation. (Strings probably could use an
 edit in this case.)

 We may want to use a filter instead of a constant, as we have been
 gravitating in that direction in general. Constant IMO probably makes more
 sense here, but it's just a thought.

 If we do use a constant, though, then we would add it to default-
 constants.php (see syntax/examples there) and allow it to be optionally
 set first in wp-config.php. Among other things, wp-config.php is not
 overridden or touched in upgrades, so your constant would be unavailable
 to existing installs.
