 > This would just end up being a 3rd argument to the `post_clauses` filter
 (back compat) and would be a major rewrite of `get_posts()` - unless a
 patch materializes that nails it, I don't see this picking up any steam

 You misread something: There would be ''no'' 3rd argument and ''no'' major
 rewrite. Actually the patch would ''just'' replace all the string
 concatenating with array pushing. All the filters and the vars would then
 just get converted from Array > String using a simple
 {{{join()}}}/{{{implode()}}} before they'd get called.

 The new filter would run ''after'' the current filters so nothing would
 break and everything would be backwards compatible. Plugins could slowly
 move towards using the newer (easier and faster) filter.
