 When I use a permalink structure like `/story/%post_id%/%postname%/`, the
 author and date URLs inherit the same `/story/` base (e.g.
 `/story/author/danielbachhuber/`). I'd expect my author and date URLs to
 remain unchanged, unless I explicitly specify a base.

 There appears to be some crude `%post_id%` conflict resolution for date
 which forces this. It's not clear why the `front` value is applied to
 `author_structure`.

 This code is 9 years young (#2433), so probably too late to make a
 breaking change. It would be nice to have a filter around
 `$wp_rewrite->front` in `$wp_rewrite->init()` so I don't have filter both
 rewrite rules and links.
