Comment:

 While I like the idea of someday being able to add multi support for post
 types here, I think it would be best to tackle that separately. Switching
 to multiple post types would just send us down a rabbit hole in several
 spots, not limited to the cap checks in `get_posts_by_author_sql()`.

 In [attachment:18791.2.patch], I've removed the multiple post types
 support, cleaned up the logic and added the requisite inline docs updates.

 I left in the change to `is_multi_author()` where the `post_type`
 condition was removed, though I'm a little dubious of the effect of that,
 especially since we don't currently have any kind of content definition
 for what does or doesn't have "authors".
