Functions
Functions that are not part of a class:

get_option( $option, $default = false )   X-Ref
Retrieves an option value based on an option name.

If the option does not exist, and a default value is not provided,
boolean false is returned. This could be used to check whether you need
to initialize an option during installation of a plugin, however that
can be done better by using add_option() which will not overwrite
existing options.

Not initializing an option and using boolean `false` as a return value
is a bad practice as it triggers an additional database query.

The type of the returned value can be different from the type that was passed
when saving or updating the option. If the option value was serialized,
then it will be unserialized when it is returned. In this case the type will
be the same. For example, storing a non-scalar value like an array will
return the same array.

In most cases non-string scalar and null values will be converted and returned
as string equivalents.

Exceptions:

1. When the option has not been saved in the database, the `$default` value
is returned if provided. If not, boolean `false` is returned.
2. When one of the Options API filters is used: {@see 'pre_option_$option'},
{@see 'default_option_$option'}, or {@see 'option_$option'}, the returned
value may not match the expected type.
3. When the option has just been saved in the database, and get_option()
is used right after, non-string scalar and null values are not converted to
string equivalents and the original type is returned.

Examples:

When adding options like this: `add_option( 'my_option_name', 'value' )`
and then retrieving them with `get_option( 'my_option_name' )`, the returned
values will be:

- `false` returns `string(0) ""`
- `true`  returns `string(1) "1"`
- `0`     returns `string(1) "0"`
- `1`     returns `string(1) "1"`
- `'0'`   returns `string(1) "0"`
- `'1'`   returns `string(1) "1"`
- `null`  returns `string(0) ""`

When adding options with non-scalar values like
`add_option( 'my_array', array( false, 'str', null ) )`, the returned value
will be identical to the original as it is serialized before saving
it in the database:

array(3) {
[0] => bool(false)
[1] => string(3) "str"
[2] => NULL
}

param: string $option  Name of the option to retrieve. Expected to not be SQL-escaped.
param: mixed  $default Optional. Default value to return if the option does not exist.
return: mixed Value of the option. A value of any type may be returned, including
since: 1.5.0

since: 3.0.0

update_option( $option, $value, $autoload = null )   X-Ref
Updates the value of an option that was already added.

You do not need to serialize values. If the value needs to be serialized,
then it will be serialized before it is inserted into the database.
Remember, resources cannot be serialized or added as an option.

If the option does not exist, it will be created.
This function is designed to work with or without a logged-in user. In terms of security,
plugin developers should check the current user's capabilities before updating any options.

param: string      $option   Name of the option to update. Expected to not be SQL-escaped.
param: mixed       $value    Option value. Must be serializable if non-scalar. Expected to not be SQL-escaped.

return: bool True if the value was updated, false otherwise.

since: 4.2.0 The `$autoload` parameter was added.

add_option( $option, $value = '', $deprecated = '', $autoload = 'yes' )   X-Ref
Adds a new option.

You do not need to serialize values. If the value needs to be serialized,
then it will be serialized before it is inserted into the database.
Remember, resources cannot be serialized or added as an option.

You can create options without values and then update the values later.
Existing options will not be updated and checks are performed to ensure that you
aren't adding a protected WordPress option. Care should be taken to not name
options the same as the ones which are protected.

param: string      $option     Name of the option to add. Expected to not be SQL-escaped.
param: mixed       $value      Optional. Option value. Must be serializable if non-scalar.
