 If you have {{{wp_set_current_user()}}}, then {{{is_user_logged_in()}}}
 will always return true. This goes against my understanding of the role of
 wp_set_current_user() especially as explained by the documentation:

 "Some WordPress functionality is based on the current user and not based
 on the signed in user. Therefore, it opens the ability to edit and perform
 actions on users who aren't signed in."

 But then we look at {{{is_user_logged_in()}}} and it just says - can we
 {{{get_current_user()}}}?

 Suddenly wp_set_current_user is looking like wp_switch_logged_in_user(),
 which I doubt is the intent of that function.
