Comment (by danieliser):

 I support this as well. Use case, attaching extra fields into the post
 object.

 Currently got a working concept for something like a partner table for
 posts, such as location information. This is useful in itself since
 querying post meta for radius location searches is very taxing if you have
 say 50k listings(CPT). A second table to manage these means easily
 querying using built in MySQL methods for these types of searches.

 This patch applies simply because say I have address info in a partner
 table, I can then join that row to the post object so that $post->city,
 $post->state etc are available. Currently I am using a wrapper function
 that simply calls get_post() and then appends the extra keys. But being
 able to filter these on the initial get_post call would mean one less
 step. I'm sure there are many other uses for this as well.
