	165	+ * accepts any object via the `srfm_multilingual_provider` filter (@since 2.11.0) and
	166	+ * instanceof-checks it. Adding a bodyless method to a shipped interface is a
	167	+ * fatal-error BC break: a third-party provider written against 2.11.0-2.12.2 would
	168	+ * fail at class-declaration time on update, producing a white screen rather than a
	169	+ * degraded feature. Guarding the call site does not help, because the fatal happens
	170	+ * when the implementor's class is declared, not when the method is called.
	171	+ *
	172	+ * Both first-party providers implement delete_package(), and String_Collector

	174	+ * must be a major release with a migration note for custom providers.
