 Replying to [ticket:33561 deconf]:
 > Note that a transient can get broken for a number of reasons and not
 necessary through intentionally deleting its timeout.
 While this is technically true, is there a way for a transient timeout to
 get deleted other than by removing its entry in the `wp_options` table via
 a database query? I don't believe it's possible via the API.
