Comment (by dbisso):

 This would have been really useful to me on a recent client project that
 needed a number of custom post types with additional methods and
 properties (e.g an event post object with
 {{{$event_post->get_start_date()}}} /
 {{{$event_post->get_next_occurrence()}}} methods etc). I resorted to a
 similar workaround as the OP, but had the same problem of getting
 {{{get_post}}} to accept the new object.

 Ideally, I would love to see this included in 4.1 with #12955 which would
 allow a single, universal place to filter or replace post objects with
 custom classes.
