Comment (by deepwater wells):

 Are there reasons not to implement a configuration object for this
 explicit purpose? Doing so would keep WP as a single-responsibility object
 (basically a router) while also allowing for the use of magic methods,
 defaults/fallbacks, etc. on config items. It would also allow the config
 object to be instantiated independent of (before) WP.

 The config object (WP_Config?) could be accessible via a WP property (once
 instantiated), like `$wp->config->some_setting`, and/or through functions
 like `wp_config_get('some_setting')`. I think this would be more future-
 proof and intuitive than accessing WP directly. Thoughts?
