 There was some discussion in #55918 about standardizing on either
 `set_up_before_class()`/`set_up_after_class()` or
 `wpSetUpBeforeClass()`/`wpSetUpAfterClass()`. That would bring
 consistency, and help reduce the confusion that exists around those
 functions. That applies to the tear down functions as well.

 The `wp...` variants were introduced in r35186.

 If a change is made here (and probably even if one isn't), it'd be good to
 update [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-testing
 /writing-phpunit-tests/ the handbook page] to explain which functions
 folks should use, and any caveats.
