Comment:

 In [changeset:"37656"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37656"
 Add a note about uniqueness to the doc block for `get_term_by()`.

 `get_term_by()` always returns a single term, even when more than one term
 matches the query parameters. The new note warns developers to use
 `get_terms()` when such ambiguity may result.

 Fixes #36878.
