 The get_pages function has no way to retrieve private pages.
 The get_posts function uses a post_status parameter, meaning that it can
 retrieve (and potentially display) private posts regardless of the user.

 While get_pages() simply lacks a feature, I would argue that get_posts()
 is defective in that it can display things that it should not be able to
 display.

 Both of these functions need to be updated to use the
 get_private_posts_cap_sql() function for building the correct post_status
 query segment.
