Comment (by flixos90):

 It's been a while, but I was just wondering about introducing a filter in
 `get_post()`. It could be related to this functionality, but could be used
 in other ways too. Looking at `get_term()`, `get_comment()`, `get_site()`
 and `get_network()`, all these functions include a filter of the same
 name. `get_post()` is the only exception here.

 I still think it would be a valuable enhancement for developers to use
 their own post classes based on `WP_Post`. This would not make sense in a
 plugin, but in various custom projects where one has full control over the
 environment. Many use wrapper classes for posts with their own
 functionality, but it's a pain to do so. Writing your own post class
 derived from `WP_Post` and using a filter `get_post` to transform the
 object accordingly would make it a lot easier.
