current_filter() (and current_action()) have a @return string
However both can return false when used in an exception handler callback,
if there's a fatal/uncaught exception and the current code is not run on
an action/filter - e.g. in WP core itself or if a plugin manually loads WP
and executes code after requiring wp-load.php
The @return should be changed to string|false
