Comment:

 `'post_status' => 'any'` is an alias for`get_post_stati( array(
 'exclude_from_search' => true ) )`

 This does not include statuses in the query SQL, it just excludes some
 statuses.

 However, if you pass:

 `'post_status' => 'any, auto-draft'` or `'post_status' => array( 'any',
 'auto-draft' )`

 ... they should be combined. They aren't really combined, what happens:
 when the 'any' logic is deciding to exclude statuses, it should make sure
 they aren't also in the passed `post_status` array.

 I think that this wasn't considered when `any` was implemented for
 `post_status`. I wouldn't say this way is suggested, but it also isn't
 wholly invalid.
