Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by surveying how the documentation parser handles core inline documentation and global variables, then establish which globals are in scope and how they should be represented; done would mean those agreed globals are parsed and covered by validation, but the issue does not define that scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Definitely an under-documented portion of core. On the other hand, WP is moving away from using globals, and I'm not sure if many of them are actually documented inline anywhere. So although I'd like to see this added, I understand that it isn't going to be a priority.
