Comment:

 I like it, sounds like a sound improvement.

 A few things I noticed:

 * We should probably call it `get_the_author_posts_link()`.
 * The comment for `the_author_posts_link()` can start with "Display"
 again, rather than "Get".
 * `the_author_posts_link()` would need to continue accepting the
 deprecated argument.
 * We can drop the deprecated argument from `get_the_author_posts_link()`
 and don't need to pass it to it in the display function.
 * The double line break between the two functions should probably just
 remain one.
 * I'm not sure we need to update the function body with current coding
 guidelines, since it doesn't really need alterations, except for returning
 the result.
