	/**
	 * Filter to preflight or hijack unscheduling of events.
	 *
	 * Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling
	 * process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
	 *
	 * For plugins replacing wp-cron, return true if the event was successfully
	 * unscheduled, false if not.
	 *
	 * @since 5.1.0
	 * @since 5.7.0 The `$wp_error` parameter was added, and a `WP_Error` object can now be returned.
	 *
	 * @param null|bool|WP_Error $pre       Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the event.
	 * @param int                $timestamp Timestamp for when to run the event.
	 * @param string             $hook      Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
	 * @param array              $args      Arguments to pass to the hook's callback function.
	 * @param bool               $wp_error  Whether to return a WP_Error on failure.
