Comment:

 I think this is fine because it changes the signature of `wp_die()` but
 doesn't change it for the various die handler callbacks.

 I agree with Joe, `wp_die( int $response_code = 500 )` would mean
 introducing a default error message and we don't want to encourage people
 to avoid providing their own.

 While we're at it, the inline docs for `_default_wp_die_handler()` need
 updating because `$message` can be a `WP_Error`.
