Note that there are already five API actions which use
FauxRequest/DerivativeContext, which in my opinion is an even worse
form of architectural hack. With DerivativeContext, you could leave
Title.php as it is, and just set up a fake request with action=render
to fool the Title.php code, thus obfuscating the data flow and setting
a crafty trap for anyone who tries to remove action=render in the future.
It would be more consistent with other API actions, but I like my way
better.
