 I think it becomes a question of what WordPress documents: is it the
 recommended approach or what is technically feasible.

 To get the terms for the current global post, I would personally recommend
 `get_the_terms( get_the_ID() /* or get_post() */, 'category' );` to
 provide clarity; passing `null` is technically possible and likely will
 remain supported.

 I'm in two minds but am leaning towards documenting the technically
 possible that `null` is supported.

 If they don't exist already, I'd certainly like to see some tests added to
 ensure compatibility is maintained.
