Comment (by crstauf):

 Replying to [comment:4 Clorith]:
 > I'm not sure I get the underlying problem here, wouldn't it be _easier_
 to define the `WP_ENVIRONMENT` constant on your development site, than
 implementing a filter?

 @Clorith If there were only one development, staging, and production site,
 a constant works: set it once and forget about it. However, in a workflow
 where there can be multiple development sites (think multiple developers
 creating local instances) absolutely ensuring the creation of a constant
 in `wp-config.php` before any request is made to the local instance is
 (unfortunately) impossible (at least has been in my experience).

 The advantage of an mu-plugin is that it would be easily distributed with
 the codebase (due to its location within `wp-content` directory), and
 would thus near-absolutely ensure the environment type of "development".
