 `current_user_can` uses
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_current_user/
 internally, however this function is only loaded only much after
 `current_user_can` is declared. This means using `current_user_can` on
 e.g. `mu_plugins_loaded` or `plugin_loaded` hook will result in a fatal
 error.

 Changing the `wp_get_current_user()` call in there to
 `_wp_get_current_user()` fixes that issue, but then it fails on
 `wp_set_current_user()` which is pluggable too.
