 Replying to [comment:20 scribu]:
 > As for the isset() in `__get()`, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to
 silently fail if the key doesn't exist.
 Plugins like BuddyPress and bbPress don't always load a real $post and
 rely on silent failure. The $post global is sometimes set with dummy (or
 semi relevant) information to satisfy the bare minimum of !WordPress's API
 that expects it to exist. Silent failure is the way the WP_User magic
 methods work; !WordPress's pluggable nature makes it seem fitting it act
 as the construct to prevent notices where it can.
