Comment:

 This goes for any function in core or plugin, except "pluggable"
 functions.
 If you copy a function name from anywhere in the WordPress ecosystem, and
 elect not to prefix it, or replace the prefix, this is what you have to
 expect.

 And WordPress Core cannot "fix" this for all plugins, so why for Hello
 Dolly, as you say is just an example?

 Always prefix global names. `hello_dolly_get_lyrics` is perfectly
 prefixed, and thus works as a good example on how to make a simple plugin.

 Closing this. Discussion can continue on closed tickets.
