Comment (by dd32):

 I'd just like to point out that the original code example in the ticket is
 invalid, you shouldn't do this, as it's completely unnecessary (and may
 also break):
 {{{require wp_normalize_path( __DIR__ ) . 'phpinfo.php';}}}

 `wp_normalize_path()` is designed to be used to make two paths "sane" for
 comparison purposes, for example, to remove `ABSPATH` from a filename and
 return the remainder - case differences in the path or extra slashes
 during path concatenation can cause the comparisons to fail otherwise.
