Comment:

 These filters are two different names. They should probably be the same. I
 usually like filters over wrapper functions, but wp_checkdate() probably
 isn't a bad idea, here. I don't think the context (whether you came from
 wp_insert_post() or edit_post(), or what the post array is) is necessary,
 and if anything it is spurious. If you want to modify a date based on some
 context, there are other filters for that. I usually don't fight for less
 context, but the only context that should matter here is what calendar
 system is being used.

 Also, wp_insert_post() can return 0 depending on $wp_error, so we need to
 avoid returning WP_Error in that case. And whoops has an "h". :-)
