---------------------------+--------------------
 The main functionality of script-loader is to provide a list of all
 WordPress scripts and stylesheets together with their dependencies,
 translation objects and extra/inline code.

 During the WP 5.0 development a few (shorthand) functions were introduced
 that output hard-coded data used to "construct" that list by running
 several loops instead of the simpler, one-line definitions like in the
 pre-existing list. This makes it harder to "see" and maintain the entries
 in the list, and doesn't bring any benefits (all data is still hard-coded,
 but is now in separate places). It also makes it harder to "dynamically"
 extract and construct the scripts list like in #48154.

 For best results and easier maintenance the "helper functions" introduced
 in WP 5.0 should be removed and the list of scripts in `wp_default_scripts
 ()` should include all entries.
