Comment:

 @TimothyBlynJacobs I have updated [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/534 #534] with unit tests. Can you review again?

 I think there is a good chance we could get this in WordPress 5.9.

 One question is, should we make some of the none sensitive settings
 public. Things you can easily workout.

 Examples could be public
 - name
 - description
 - url
 - home
 - gmt_offset
 - timezone_string
 - language
 - posts_per_page

 Example that could behind edit_posts capabilty
 - default_category
 - default_post_format
