 Some time ago I've written a guide about integrating Laravel into
 WordPress, https://nehalist.io/integrating-laravel-into-wordpress/. Since
 Laravel now uses it's own `__` function this integration has become
 impossible, because WordPress does not wrap global functions within
 `function_exists`.



 Cannot redeclare __() (previously declared in
 /var/www/test.dev/public_html/wp-laravel-
 integration/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php:821)
