Comment (by michael.ecklund):

 * I would like to be able to control content and sidebar placement.
 * I'd rather not have 50 million static templates which are all
 essentially the same code.
 * I'd like the freedom and flexibility to change between: sidebar left,
 sidebar right, or no sidebar. No matter what type of content it is.

 As a temporary solution I've been able to implement my template idea for
 all post types by looping all post types and using the hook: `add_filter(
 "theme_{$post_type}_templates", "add_my_templates" );`

 Just seems like it would be a simple fix to add an "any" parameter. Much
 like `WP_Query();` allows.

 P.S. Why did you revert the version number from 4.8.1 to 4.7? I'm using
 4.8.1 as reported.
