Comment (by igmoweb):

 I propose to let WP_Query handle this.

 I'd also propose to deprecate this function. Is not used by Core so
 plugins could use their own functions instead. Querying by title is not a
 very good idea so we would be discouraging developers to use this function
 (maybe just a little but more than nothing). @scribu said the same in
 here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20350#comment:1 I don't know
 if she would think the same today.

 Anyway, here are my changes: Unit tests + changes inside the function (not
 deprecated though) so now it uses WP_Query instead.
