Comment (by flixos90):

 I'm not sure if we should deprecate `load_muplugin_textdomain()`. I'm
 curious how many plugin authors do something like the check in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23794#comment:4. Also, shouldn't it
 be the plugin author's responsibility to support his/her plugin as an mu-
 plugin as well?

 Anyway, if we don't change this, I think we should improve the codex on
 this - make new plugin authors aware that there is the concept of mu-
 plugins and how they can support it.
