 Looks like the `WP` class just passes whatever it gets to `WP_Query`
 (which seems legit). In `WP_Query::get_posts()`,
 `sanitize_title_for_query` is used, which strips off those characters

 So when you open `https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/01/13/feature-
 plugin-chat-notes-for-jan-12...` (someone may have typed the URL wrong),
 you still get to the right post. That only works for post names though,
 i.e. `https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016...` does not work.
