 If the $current_user global is changed during a unit test, that change is
 persisted to all subsequent unit tests, making the tests dependent on
 order. (eg, meaning that if I change the $current_user to be an admin
 during a test, they're forevermore an admin. So a later test that assumes
 the $current_user is the default blank user will probably fail, even
 though that other unit test could pass when ran in isolation.)
 The solution I have is to just clone the $current_user on the first unit
 test and save it somewhere; and then after each unit test, restore the
 $current_user to be a clone of the saved original
