 $deprecated since 2.3

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5/wp-includes/template-
 functions-post.php#L110 back as far as 1.5 but $fakeit it doesn't seem to
 be used anywhere so I presume we'd be OK to pass a post ID now like
 get_the_title()?

 We'd still need to pass the `$deprecated` argument, which definitely makes
 adding additional parameters a little clunky since you'd effectively call
 it as `get_the_excerpt( '', $post_id );`
