    Example usage:

    $current_screen = get_current_screen();
if (
	method_exists( $current_screen, 'is_block_editor' )
	&& $current_screen->is_block_editor()
) {
	// Do something if the Block Editor is being loaded...
}

    For instance, I have a metabox marked as [ '__back_compat_meta_box' => true ] and wanted to ensure its scripts and styles aren’t being loaded unnecessarily in the Block Editor.
