Comment:

 I'm mainly trying to improve consistency across different arguments, and
 continuing with similar tasks as #38553.  You can already query by post
 IDs for example, and querying by slug seems likely to be even more useful
 than that.

 When querying by a single slug, this changes the generated SQL from `WHERE
 name = '...'` to `WHERE name IN ('...')`.  This didn't seem like a problem
 to me, and I don't understand why removing `name` would be a problem
 either given that there is still a way to do the same thing.

 > You can still use `post_name__in` with authenticated users OR by adding
 it to the `rest_query_vars` filter.

 This is not supported out of the box though, correct?
