 Problem: it’s pretty common (even if it’s not polite) for plugins to use a
 class constructor to hook their own public methods into things, but doing
 so makes it ''near-impossible'' to unhook procedurally.

 Solution: I just ran across the following function on StackExchange, and
 imagined something similar could be quite useful to have globally
 available:

 It’s gnarly, but it works, and I think having WordPress core include this
 functionality makes more sense than having plugin authors all include
 their own version of it.
