 Currently, if you want to get or set a post object's property:
  * You have to know which database table it's located in
  * If that property is in the posts table, you have to set all properties
 to set any, via `wp_update_post` or `wp_insert_post`.
  * If that property is in the postmeta table, you have to specify that it
 be returned as a singular value (instead of an array of values)

 My patch lets WP figure out where a particular value is stored, so you
 don't have to, with two new functions:

 mixed '''get_object_property''' ( int ''$object_id'', string
 ''$prop_name'' [, bool ''$force_single'' ] )

 bool '''set_object_property''' ( int ''$object_id'', string
 ''$prop_name'', mixed ''$prop_value'' )
