Comment:

 `REST_REQUEST` should be avoided where possible, because it can only be
 turned on, not off. We set this only when a request comes in through a
 request to `/wp-json/*`, and it's not set in unit tests or when using
 `rest_do_request()` internally.

 There's no way to set this during tests, and we don't recommend it in any
 case, so closing this as wontfix.
