WP_Customize_Setting::preview()

Add filters to supply the setting’s value when accessed.

Description

If the setting already has a pre-existing value and there is no incoming post value for the setting, then this method will short-circuit since there is no change to preview.

Return

(bool) False when preview short-circuits due no change needing to be previewed.
