Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > I think I'm still against this. I'd like to see us start to add methods
 to these functions. If others are allowed to extend `WP_Post` et al., core
 will end up breaking their code, and I don't think core should take on
 this responsibility right now.

 Also, we should be encouraging dependency injection with stable interfaces
 rather than extending classes.
