* Network API: WP_Network class
* Core class used for interacting with a multisite network.
* This class is used during load to populate the `$current_site` global and
* setup the current network.
* This class is most useful in WordPress multi-network installations where the
* ability to interact with any network of sites is required.
* @since 4.6.0 Converted from public to private to explicitly enable more intuitive
* access via magic methods. As part of the access change, the type was
* also changed from `string` to `int`.
* The ID of the network's main site.
* Named "blog" vs. "site" for legacy reasons. A main site is mapped to
* the network when the network is created.
* A numeric string, for compatibility reasons.
* Domain used to set cookies for this network.
