Comment (by DvanKooten):

 @johnbillion Isn't that what WP is all about? ;)

 My $.02 is that it's pretty much in line with other core functions like
 `wp_schedule_event` and how the `WP_HTTP` API works using
 `pre_http_request`. I think it makes sense for expensive operations to
 offer such a thing.

 Also, it's already possible to do this by passing the `$atts` array with
 empty values but that still runs a bunch of code to instantiate the
 `PHPMailer` object.

 That also gets us to your second question as `$atts` is treated as if an
 array after the filter runs, without any checking. This would make it easy
 to just bail on any non-array value.
