| As stated above the most basic (and probably the most efficient way)
| would be to do a get_post($id) then check the status and type
| properties to make sure they are what you want, in which case you'd
| already have a nice post object to use.
|
| Alternately if you wanted just one call to check you could use
| get_posts() and include arguments for the properties you want to
| check. In this case 'publish' status and 'post' type are the defaults,
| so if there are any results then the ID exists. I don't feel like
| digging into the source, but I think get_post() will probably be
| faster though, as it will only check one row in the DB.
