Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Replying to [comment:4 Otto42]:
 > Minor problem: If you include/require from within a function, then the
 content of the included file is not in the global context anymore, but in
 the function context instead. I feel that this will break quite a lot of
 things.
 It will break some things, which IMO are issues with WordPress's
 application design that should be addressed anyhow.

 We could extract $GLOBALS if we feel it is a huge deal, but that's yet
 another monkey-patch approach that this is trying to give developers the
 chance to avoid.

 We can also cherry-pick the files that don't invoke anything in the global
 scope, where as files like `wp-login.php`have obvious issues.
