Comment (by nacin):

 I kind of like multi-network helper functionality remaining outside of
 core for the time being. Multisite is a moving target and needs a ton of
 work just to make it not absolutely terrible for *single* networks. Adding
 this additional layer of complexity feels like the wrong thing to do.

 Also, anything that tries to copy switch_to_blog() is gonna have a bad
 time. I'd rather a new switching mechanism that switches the network, too,
 if it's different for the new site. I do get that *_site_option() only
 operates on the current network, which is why I'd like to eventually move
 toward a _network_option() situation.

 Note none of the opinions outlined here are strongly held.
