 This code:

 {{{
 $query = new WP_Query();

 print_r( $query->posts );
 }}}

 will contain private posts, if the user has the appropriate capabilities.

 This code:

 {{{
 $posts = get_posts();
 print_r( $posts );
 }}}

 won't contain private posts.

 That's because get_posts() always sets 'post_status' to 'publish', for
 back-compat.

 Therefore, I propose we introduce an explicit 'publish_or_private' value,
 which would allow this:

 {{{
 $posts = get_posts( array( 'post_status' => 'publish_or_private' ) );
 }}}
