Comment (by ericlewis):

 `get_page_by_path()` and `get_page_by_title()` have both allowed
 $post_type to be passed as an argument since r13774. I don't see a lot of
 benefit here, as there aren't any other unique identifying fields for
 posts other than ID and post_name (making `get_page_by_title()`
 problematic in my eyes, since it returns the first post with the given
 title, ignoring multiple posts).

 I'd say worksforme here, unless there are some good use cases I'm missing.
