 Do that, and this filter is much less needed.  For me this ticket is a
 workaround to `WP_Post` being `final`.

 > @MikeSchinkel - here is a full example based on the extendable Post
 class I linked above and how we are using it in a themeable plugin.

 And as I mentioned to @flixos90, that is fine until you''(r client)''
 wants ''(you)'' to use a plugin that expects there to be a global `$post`
 and within a hook that plugin calls a function that calls `get_post()` to
 sanitize/normalize said global `$post`.
