Comment (by iandunn):

 Assuming this is a duplicate, it seems like `51056.diff` is a better
 solution that PR `795`.

 It seems valid for SimplePie's `get_links()` to expect a string, since
 it's parser combines multiple headers into a comma-separated string. That
 doesn't happen in Core b/c we override the File handler, though.

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51056#comment:3 has a more detailed
 explanation. It just took the build tool realization and a 6th reading for
 it to all fit together :)
