Comment (by NateWr):

 Thanks for the clarification boonebgorges. Since the {{{$more}}} global is
 pulled in on [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
 includes/query.php#L4547 line 4547], I just assumed that this represented
 the $more global I'm familiar with in the templates. Are you sure that's
 not what's getting modified here?

 I have a [https://wordpress.org/plugins/good-reviews-wp/ small reviews
 plugin] designed for outputting short review snippets. In the use-cases
 I've envisioned for the plugin, reviews tend to be short excerpts taken
 from other sites, and so whether the review is displayed in a taxonomy
 archive or a widget, I generally want the full review displayed. So the
 plugin sets {{{$more = 1}}} and then resets it after the reviews are
 printed. With the 4.1 beta, the {{{$more}}} var is now being reset to 0
 when {{{$reviews->the_post()}}} is called in the loop.

 I do think it's common to manipulate the {{{$more}}} global in this way.
 Though I understand this may be considered an inappropriate or abusive use
 of the {{{$more}}} global. If so, I'm happy to modify my plugin. I just
 wanted some clarity on this before moving forward.
