 Replying to [comment:3 ocean90]:
 > Just thinking out loud, instead of introducing a new global, can't this
 be part of `WP_Screen`?

 You mean as a static property? I'd definitely prefer to not use a global,
 but I'm not sure it fits into `WP_Screen`. The screen class holding the
 different administration panels would kind of be the wrong way around I
 think, as administration panels rather contain the screens.

 We might wanna introduce a new class `WP_Administration_Panel` - then we
 wouldn't need to use plain objects for the administration panels (they
 could be instances of that class), and the class could also contain the
 administration panels existing in a static property (to get rid of the
 global). Even the methods to register and get panels could be moved into
 that class as static methods. What do you think?
