 Can you elaborate on that a bit? I honestly fail to see what could go
 wrong. I can only see benefits — especially in the context I just
 mentioned, i.e. integration between WP and third-party apps. Merely
 changing that `require` into `require_once` would be good enough for my
 sake. Can you please do at least that, so I don't need to worry about
 future compatibility of my `$wp_filter` hack?

 > Side note, functions.php isn't needed. A callback doesn't need to exist
 until the hook is run, not when it is added.

 In that case the second patch is the one to use.
