Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 TimothyBlynJacobs]:
 > `SHORTINIT` doesn't load the majority of WordPress, you can see where it
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/bcb3299a37712b61eb9b2a92c0b2fcc81e5d3d9d/src/wp-
 settings.php#L149 stops loading in `wp-settings.php`]. This includes the
 REST API.

 Maybe we could check early in the REST API bootstrap whether `SHORTINIT`
 is defined, and display an appropriate error message in that case? I think
 that would be a better developer experience.
