 * Hello,
 * I am a PHP developer and I use WordPress on many of my websites. As we all know,
   mere renaming of `wp-admin` directory will make a big mess for the entire platform
   and in order to do that, we have to do a lot more.
 * Here I am, introducting a new feature, a constant which will represent the full
   name of the admin directory. That same constant can be used for all inclusions
   and require statements inside the WP Core, and elsewehre (3rd-party plugins, 
   etc).
 * I am writting this here, because on official GitHub page of WordPress, I did 
   not saw the “Issues” tab enabled, nor was I able to find on how to contact some
   of the developers of WordPress.
 * I hope that one of them will read this and give me their feedback on this.
 * Also, what are the conventions for developers of WordPress? How are PULL REQUESTS
   managed?
 * Thank you and give me your feedback on this!
 * PS On installation of third-party plugins which may contain strings matching `
   wp-admin`, in inclusions or other checks, we can also do a search-replace on 
   them (if the `const !== ‘wp-admin’˙) and thus make the plugins work!
