Comment:

 Post commit [37738] @azaozz and I had a brief
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core/p1466142319000700 chat in
 Slack] re backcompat.

 Previously, if called before the global `$post` object was set, the value
 `false` would be run through the filter. Now, if the post is called before
 the global `$post` object is set, the function returns false and bypasses
 the filter.

 [attachment:37059.2.diff] restores the old behavior of passing a failure
 to get the post though the filter.

 I'm genuinely undecided on how much it matters, the old behavior could
 only have occurred before the `posts_selection` action.
