 With the exception of `get_permalink()`, all in-loop template tags follow
 a simple pattern:

 - the_author -> get_the_author
 - the_content -> get_the_content
 - the_title -> get_the_title

 It's easy for developers to keep remember that `the_{something}` will echo
 a value while `get_the_{something}` will return it.

 For the sake of consistency, `get_permalink()` should be deprecated and
 replaced with `get_the_permalink()`.
