Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 I have found only one gotcha, which would be that get_post() will return
 the current global post object, if $post is empty.

 This can be alleviated by:


 {{{
         public function setup_postdata( $post ) {
                 global $id, $authordata, $currentday, $currentmonth,
 $page, $pages, $multipage, $more, $numpages;

                 if ( empty( $post ) ) {
                         return false;
                 } elseif ( ! is_object( $post ) ) {
                         $post = get_post( $post );

                         if ( ! $post ) {
                                 return false;
                         }
                 }

                 $id = (int) $post->ID;
 }}}
