 Many of the `is_()` methods in `WP_Query` share the nearly the exact same
 logic. As such, they share the exact same bugs, and fixing those bugs
 requires many parallel changes and huge numbers of tests. See #35902 and
 #24674 for some recent examples.

 It's possible to move all the shared logic to a single `protected` utility
 method. It's a bit more abstract, but is much easier to maintain and test.
