New description:

 While writing the improved docblock for `export_wp()`, I noticed something
 that may be an issue when a custom post type is supplied.

 For the built-in post types you can filter the exported content by start
 date, end date and/or author. But not with a custom post type: with them
 it's everything. Is this by design?

 The fix could be to modify line 113 to include the custom post type option
 because by that point we know that it's both valid and `can_export` is
 true thanks to the stuff starting on line 88.

 I don't use this code myself but it did jump out at me. Thoughts?
