 I'm proposing that all of our PHP files in the WordPress root should be
 moved to `wp-includes`, and dummy versions put in the root that include
 the `wp-includes` versions of them.

 This will make things cleaner, and will open the door for us to do things
 like install a new version of WordPress in `wp-includes-8fb24cd9`, and
 pass a `?use-wp-includes=8fb24cd9` switch that loads that version. We
 could test the updated version of WordPress without touching the old
 version, and if it fails (WSOD, etc), we don't even have to roll back,
 because we haven't put the new version in `wp-includes` yet.
