 > That's a good point. I also made myself guilty with copy/pasting the
 code of `get_the_excerpt()`/`the_excerpt`. So it is a good thing to have.
 I'm just thinking how the future would look like. Would be great to have a
 roadmap for WP_Post and related classes.

 For the record, I just found #12267 about this. It was recently closed as
 maybelater, but if there's interest in it.. Why not?
