 If you want to use a custom UI for browsing posts instead of using the
 core default WP_List_Table UI, the options you have are hacky at best.

 There is no short-circuit hook in wp-admin/edit.php, nay, not even a
 single hook within the main 'div.wrap' to afford developers to output
 their markup. This seems like it might be the most straight-forward,
 familiar option, a la the short-circuit filters in shortcodes.

 List Table Factory is not pluggable (#18449), which might've been a hacky
 option to stuff markup into a custom WP_List_Table object.

 We do have the 'load-edit.php' hook, in which we can sniff the $_REQUEST,
 and stuff a copy of the entirety of wp-admin/edit.php into. This is our
 first option that could work, but woah that's hacky.
