exactly what a core WP function does (or what any other function does, for
that matter.)

You know, when I wrote C and C++, I found Visual Studio indispensable and
incredibly powerful, once you get past the crazy compiling and build
processes.

When I wrote Java, I found Eclipse to be a tool of unparalleled power and
versatility, once you got past the completely insane workflow and project
management issues.

When I write PHP, I need nothing more than a basic text editor with syntax
highlighting and global search capabilities, alongside a web browser open to
php.net because I can never remember whether the damn needle or haystack
argument comes first.

Funny, that.
