Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 I have real concerns with using `WP::get()`, e.g. `WP::get('wpdb')`:

 1. There is no way to type the return value thus coding with an IDE like
 PhpStorm will result in code that is littered with flagged unresolvable
 references.

 2. This simple issue that  `WP::get('wdpb')` won't get cause during
 development in an IDE like PhpStorm because it can't inspect the string
 and associate it with the `wpdb` class.

 Propose instead using `WP::<global>()` and `WP::set_<global>()` as in
 `WP::wpdb()` and `WP::set_wpdb()`.
