Comment:

 '''Related: #39358.''' We'll need to be aware of query performance
 concerns introduced in [38625] / #22744 before finalizing the approach
 here.

 Setting aside performance concerns for the moment,
 [attachment:39004.2.patch] looks like a good initial approach. Thanks
 @rommelxcastro.  We may need to handle some backwards compatibility for
 anyone who has decided to do something like: `remove_filter(
 'posts_clauses', '_filter_query_attachment_filenames' );` or if someone is
 calling that function directly to apply the filter to other query cases.
