	 * Add 3rd (empty) argument in apply_filters() to prevent PHP from throwing an error.
	 * “Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function apply_filters()”
	 *
	 * Yet get_locale() is defined w/o parameters in wp-includes/l10n.php:30, and
	 * apply_filters() is defined as apply_filters( $tag, $value ) in wp-includes/plugin.php:181.
	 * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/apply_filters/
	 *
	 * But apply_filters() is defined with a 3rd parameter (and w/o the first one) in
	 * wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:264, as public function apply_filters( $value, $args ).
	 *
	 * Taking it all together, probably the full function definition would be
	 * public function apply_filters( $tag, $value, $args ).
	 * In the case of get_locale(), $args is empty.
	 *
	 * The bug was lurking in WP. PHP 7.1 promoted the warning to an error.
