Comment (by maxcutler):

 The new patch (3) implements a combined strategy as suggested by nacin. It
 also adds 'post_status' as a filter option.

 For fields, there are two types of values: conceptual groups and specific
 fields. The conceptual groups are 'post', 'taxonomies', and
 'custom_fields'. Since the latter two require extra queries, performance-
 conscious callers can skip them by omitting them from 'fields'.

 And to give extra control, you can specify specific individual fields
 instead of/in addition to conceptual groups. So for daniloercoli's use-
 case, he could use array('title', 'dateCreated', 'post_status').

 I'm still torn about whether we should keep using backcompat-names (mt_*,
 wp_*, camelCase) or cut the duplication and give them sensical names in
 the context of modern WordPress. API consumers will already have to change
 some code to use the new method, but I'm not sure if field name changes
 would be too much of an additional burden.
