 Replying to [comment:1 jorbin]:
 > This seems like a really good idea to me. We can potentially use the
 phpunit option
 [http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/appendixes.annotations.html#appendixes.annotations.backupGlobals
 backupGlobals] , but I know @nacin mentioned to me once that we tried this
 and it caused issues.  I'm not sure if that is still the case. It's worth
 investigating.

 More docs on `backupGlobals`:
 http://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/fixtures.html#fixtures.global-state

 I don't think we'll be able to use it though. When I try to run a single
 test I mocked up, with `backupGlobals` enabled it takes forever (I didn't
 wait to see how long it would take to actually run, I killed it after
 several minutes). (And yes, it runs fine with `backupGlobals` disabled.) I
 think the reason for this is that WordPress's global scope is too heavy.
