 Currently wp_query accepts an option called 'fields' with possible values
 of: ids or id=>parent.

 I propose that two new options be added: author_ids, titles.

 My current use case is that I am needing to populate a list of all author
 ids that meet certain post type and taxonomy parameters. I only need the
 author ids and would like to exclude querying all of the fields for
 performance reasons.

 Looking through the wp_posts table the only other column that I think
 there is a good use case for is the post_title column.
