Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Apologies for not commenting here sooner. I have been working on & off on
 `use_mysqli` throwing the error that @jason_the_adams mentioned, thanks to
 a colleague noticing it a few weeks ago.

 I think this error/warning deserves addressing for 6.4.1.

 I also think, subsequently, it may be a good idea for the `WPDB` class to
 maintain its own internal lists of deprecated properties & methods, so
 that as they grow over years worth of MySQL & PHP versions, there is a
 natural & obvious way to prevent this in the future (a magic `__call()`
 method or some such...)

 cc @johnbillion @SergeyBiryukov for consult?
