Comment:

 It'd be nice if changes like this soaked for longer than an hour between
 the ticket being opened and the change being made.

 Issues:

  * `wp_validate_action()` is a very confusing function name because it
 doesn't really validate anything, especially if the `$action` parameter
 isn't passed, and it doesn't deal with WordPress actions.
  * Why is an empty string returned on failure instead of boolean `false`?
