Comment:

 The proposal seems reasonable and aligns with the way many other singleton
 classes have global functions to wrap methods on the singleton instance,
 so there's precedent.

 The proposed function in the patch wraps `wp_scripts()->get_data( $handle,
 $key );`.

 Are there policies or precedents for when these functions should or should
 not be added? It's worth considering that there's been little apparent
 interest in the 8 years since the ticket was created.

 @desrosj do you still want to move ahead with this?
