 Yes, most screens will have to be converted to using WP_Screen, we will do
 that while revising the help text.

 that has.

 Was 50/50 whether to swap the order of args or make the first one
 optional. Currently `$current_screen->add_option()` is used for both the
 built-in options (screen layout, table columns, etc.) and for the HTML for
 custom options. The first requires option_mane and an array, the second is
 just the HTML string.

 Alternatively we could split the method into two:
 `$current_screen->add_default_option($name, $settings)` and
 `$current_screen->add_custom_option($html)`.
