 Sometimes you might want to retrieve a post-like object when you're
 agnostic about what type of post it is (for example, you don't know
 whether it's a post, page, or attachment).

 This should work:

 {{{
 query_posts(array(
 'post_type' => 'any',
 'p' =>  123,
 ));
 }}}

 However, it doesn't because WP sees that the "p" is set, sets is_single to
 true, and then the logic for the post_type part of the where clause means
 that post_type gets set to 'post'.

 Instead, the where clause logic should give the "any" post_type priority,
 as it must be explicitly set (and therefore can be assumed to be the
 desired result).

 Patch give the "any" post_type priority.
