 WordPress provides more than 600+ framework-like functions
 (get_option/set_option, transcients, sanitize-functions and more, which
 [https://puvox.software/blog/available-functions-class-during-shortinit-
 wp/ are seen in test]).
 I doubt that there may be other people like our company, where we use
 WordPress as a backend helper framework, to make use of it's goodies
 (hundreds of useful functions).

 As speed & performance matter, people has asked for this feature many
 times (i.e. [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/28342/is-
 there-a-way-to-use-the-wordpress-users-but-without-loading-the-entire-
 wordpre example1] or [https://puvox.software/blog/include-wordpress-wp-
 core-without-database/ example2])

 It might be some useful to have one additional alternative for "SHORTINIT"
 constant:

 - SHORTINIT_WITHOUT_DB  (to return from "wp-settings.php" right before
 `require_wp_db()`)

 # Performance gains #
 Per my tests, compared to `SHORTINIT`, this approach loads wp-core about
 10x faster (avoiding DB calls, etc).


 Attaching the patches.
