Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 The origin behind this ticket is that environment types defined in Core
 are not mutually exclusive and have lead to problems. I think that as
 implimented this code has the same problem.

 Code will need to check multiple development modes (theme|plugin|core)
 which Ozz identified in [comment:10 comment #10] as problematic for
 environment types.

 As this is going in to core, introducing the problem it is trying to solve
 is inadequate.

 I like @knutsp's suggestion in [comment:36 comment #36] of passing a
 `$mode` parameter and returning a boolean if it matches either exactly or
 by definition.

 Replying to [comment:26 flixos90]:
 > Good point, there may be cases where both are being developed. I think
 `core`, `plugin`, and `theme` are the natural first choices, but happy to
 explore adding more. I think this could happen either as part of an
 initial commit or as a follow-up.

 I think missing on `site` (or whatever it ends up being called) is to miss
 the most common development mode for WordPress. In my experience at both
 small and large agencies, site wide development is the norm and
 exclusively developing either a theme or plugin is an exception.
