Comment (by Clorith):

 @SergeyBiryukov Go for it, you may be right and that may avoid some
 confusion down the line... since the filter _could_ be used by a plugin,
 but you may have different results depending on when the environment check
 is triggered if something does filter them.

 @szepeviktor the `WP_ENV` approach is something used by Bedrock as far as
 I know, and although that's a good boilerplate, it's not indicative of the
 wider WP world. Personally I favor constants that are spelled out for
 clarity sake (that's my own personal take on it of course), but if there's
 strong reasons for changing this, then there's still a few days to make
 amendments here, but there's not been a lot of issues surfaced by the
 chosen naming scheme.
