 While `get_terms()` and `wp_get_object_terms()` have different use cases,
 there's a lot of overlap in terms of how one might want to filter results
 by the various properties of the matched terms. There's no reason why
 `wp_get_object_terms()` shouldn't support many of the term-filtering
 arguments of `get_terms()`: exclude, exclude_tree, include, name, slug,
 parent, child_of, name__like, description__like, search, hierarchical, and
 perhaps others. See #18106, #15675, etc.

 Obviously, reproducing all of the argument parsing and SQL generation of
 `get_terms()` inside of `wp_get_object_terms()` is not ideal. It'd be nice
 of some of this was abstracted out - into a helper class? I dunno - so
 that it could be shared by the two functions, and perhaps elsewhere.
