Comment (by nacin):

 We also have $wpdb->get_blog_prefix() (with no arguments). Maybe all usage
 of $wpdb->prefix should start wrapping that function — potentially even
 having it set via a magic getter. (They essentially are already linked,
 any methods that change the prefix sets $wpdb->prefix.)

 At that point, should $wpdb->prefix even be recommended? I'd wonder if
 keeping it as @access private (as in, "please don't use it") is OK.

 I dunno, maybe ryan has an opinion as the two of us shaped a lot of this
 back in 3.0.
