Comment (by donmhico):

 This is interesting. IMHO we can do both of the approach @Otto42 mentioned
 above.

 > Change the field, make an internal request, see if it fails, if so
 change them back, then warn the user with a "hey, this change seems like
 it's gonna break things real bad, are you really sure?" Or equivalent.

 At the top of my head, maybe we can try to use the constants `WP_HOME` and
 `WP_SITEURL` when doing the internal request. The request can be simple,
 maybe just see if both front-end and wp-admin both sends back 200 HTTP?

 I'll try to create an initial patch when time permits.
