Description
I think that it is really a regression, but since it is probably happened long ago I might as well call it an enhancement now.
I want to be able to set ABSPATH to
$_SERVER['document_root']
which will help me with some complex symlink games I am trying to play, but there is no way to do that as ABSPATH is unconditionally defined in wp-load.php.
BTW wp-config-sample.php still includes code that defines ABSPATH.

wp-config-sample.php includes code that defines ABSPATH for plugins and implementations directly including wp-config.php, which was the "right" way before wp-load.php existed. (Of course, it is never the right way for plugins, but there are some cases where you want to include wp-load.php to do things.) It's purely for back compat at this point.
