 The inline doc for `wp_delete_post()` states that it returns a `WP_Post`
 object, but it actually returns a `stdClass` object (the result of
 `$wpdb->get_row()`).

 There's most likely a reason that a raw SQL query is performed here rather
 than using `get_post()`. It would be interesting to know what that reason
 is, and to update the code or the docs accordingly.

 Anyone want to investigate?
