 Replying to [ticket:11698 mwillberg]:
 > documentation and examples are not valid as they claim that have_posts()
 will return false when there are no more posts in query.

 {{{have_posts()}}} does return false once the Loop is completed.  Perhaps
 the documentation you mention could be improved.  Can you link to an
 example that is in error?

 > Example, this will incorrectly go thru the loop twice:

 > {{{while (have_posts()) {the_post();the_title();}}}} [[br]]
 > {{{while (have_posts()) {the_post();the_title();}}}}

 Restoring the global variables to their pre-Loop state is intended
 behavior.  See #977 and #1518
