Comment(by prettyboymp):

 I'd like to suggest changing the way the properties are set and accessed
 so that all the original data in the db_object is still accessible.
 Instead of assigning all the properties to WP_Object during construction,
 can't the WP_Object just have a *private* $db_object property that is then
 accessed by _get methods, ei:


 {{{
 Class WP_Object {
 /*private*/ $db_ojbect;

   function get_property($property_name) {
     if(isset($this->db_object->$property_name))
       return $this->db_object->$property_name;
     return null;
   }

   function get_title() {
     return $this->get_property('title');
   }
 }

 class WP_Post extends WP_Object {

   function get_title() {
     return $this->get_property('post_title');
   }
 }
 }}}

 This also allows a filter to eventually be added to get_property().

 I also don't know if WP_Page should be a separate class.  Especially with
 the addition of custom post_types.  Its data is so similar to posts and
 different enough from other presentable data, that being able see that is
 of type WP_Post and being able to get the post_type from it should be
 enough.
