Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 In preparing for my WordCamp Atlanta talk about URL routing I've run into
 this function causing all kind of headache for customized URLs.

 There's a reason for the HTTP 404 status code, incorrect URLs are
 incorrect and the client searching for them should be told so! :)

 The problem with this is it can return one resource today and another
 resource in the future after the user added a higher priority "guess."

 My vote is ''(for my own sites at least)'' to fully disable this
 functionality Please address this so we can use plugins to fully control
 our URLs.

 Thanks!
