Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Coincidentally, I was discussing this with another contributor recently as
 a suitable helper function so would very much like to see it.

 My preference would be for core to swap all instances of
 `_doing_it_wrong()` to use the new function as "you're doing it wrong" is
 the least helpful way of advising developers how to improve their code.

 Unfortunately throwing deprecation notices in `_doing_it_wrong()` isn't
 really possible as then WordPress would be throwing notices on it's
 notices and, ugh, that would be ugly.
