+	 * Resets the registry.
+	 * The criteria for what gets reset is based on what can be shared between sites on the same request when
+	 * switch_to_blog is used in a multisite install.  Here is a list of things that are NOT reset.
+	 * - $_dependency_map
+	 * - $_class_abbreviations
+	 * - $NET_CFG (EE_Network_Config): The config is shared network wide so no need to reset.
+	 * - $REQ:  Still on the same request so no need to change.
+	 * - $CAP: There is no site specific state in the EE_Capability class.
+	 * - $SSN: Although ideally, the session should not be shared between site switches, we can't reset it because only
+	 * one Session can be active in a single request.  Resetting could resolve in "headers already sent" errors.
+	 * - $addons:  In multisite, the state of the addons is something controlled via hooks etc in a normal request.  So
+	 *             for now, we won't reset the addons because it could break calls to an add-ons class/methods in the
+	 *             switch or on the restore.
+	 * - $modules
+	 * - $shortcodes
+	 * - $widgets
+	 *
+	 * @param boolean $hard             [deprecated]
+	 * @param boolean $reinstantiate    whether to create new instances of EE_Registry's singletons too,
+	 *                                  or just reset without re-instantiating (handy to set to FALSE if you're not
+	 *                                  sure if you CAN currently reinstantiate the singletons at the moment)
+	 * @param   bool  $reset_models     Defaults to true.  When false, then the models are not reset.  This is so
+	 *                                  client
+	 *                                  code instead can just change the model context to a different blog id if
