Comment:

 I created the patch above to have a starting point for the `WP_Term` class
 and its integration into its related term functions. I hope it's something
 we can build upon.

 Please note that all function calls still require specification of the
 taxonomy - removing this requirement is part of #30262 I think.

 One thing we should think about is which additional term properties and
 term functions we should make accessible using magic methods. Also whether
 we should rather use the `__get()` method (like in the patch) or include
 wrapper functions in the class instead (for example, should we be able to
 get the term link via `$term->link` or `$term->get_link()`?).

 Another thing that should probably be added to the class later is the
 functionality to get term meta using `__get()`, similar to how it is
 handled in `WP_Post`.
