Comment (by michalzuber):

 Tried and reproduced with success. I don't know why was that constant
 introduced, but after testing it, it's really a tiny piece from WP core.
 Found some cases where somebody used {{{SHORTINIT}}}:
 * http://wordpress.org/support/topic/load-wp-core-in-another-framework-
 shortinit-wp_query
 * http://wpengineer.com/2449/load-minimum-of-wordpress/
 * http://kynatro.com/blog/2012/12/11/finally-a-practical-use-for-
 wordpress-secret-shortinit-constant/

 If it will somebody ever use, they just require files that they need.
 It's not stated that everything will work in SHORTINIT environment.
 Error introduced in this ticket pointed out that ''sanitize_*'' functions
 won't work.
 For debugging this, somebody had to call every function in SHORTINIT
 state.

 Tried in root dir:
 {{{
 <?php
 define( 'SHORTINIT', true );
 require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-load.php' );
 $funcs = get_defined_functions();
 echo "WordPress $wp_version SHORTINIT functions: <pre>";
 print_r($funcs['user']); echo "</pre>";
 }}}
 [http://pastebin.com/H3FKEab9 the output] showed 234 functions
