 the function register_post_type() in wp-includes/post.php does not check
 for reserved post types. But later on this will cause malfunctions or
 unexpected behaviour and bugs.

 I wrote a very simple patch that checks if any of the reserved post_types
 are being registered and if so it notifies the developer by
 _doing_it_wrong and WP_Error as a fallback.

 Projects and plugins that are using reserved post_types in the wild will
 not break. But the developers will be notified via the logs or on their
 development environments where WP_DEBUG is true.

 ps. I will submit a similar ticket for taxonomies after this one.
