Comment (by swissspidy):

 [attachment:36934.diff] is an improved version of
 [attachment:36934a.diff].

 Main changes:

 * Adds an `$args` parameter to `get_the_content()` to make it more future
 proof.
 * Gets rid of the `$pages` and `$multipage` globals by moving logic to
 `WP_Post`.
 * Adds a test provided by @iandunn in #37519.
