Comment:

 I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that a `stdClass` pseudo-object
 will at some point get upgraded to a proper class, as happened with
 `WP_Term`in 4.4 and with `WP_User`, `WP_Post`, etc in previous releases.

 This makes type hinting `stdClass` fragile. I think this issue is a
 wontfix.
