 Is there a reason for the pairing of `public => false` with `rewrite =>
 true` for default custom post type arguments? If there isn't can we change
 the default `rewrite` to inherit `public` at runtime?

 I often see a large rewrite rules array from plugin/theme private post
 types not declaring `rewrite => false` - if there's no need for them seems
 bit of a waste - a default WP install is 17 rules per post type, 17
 possible unnecessary regex checks per-request. Usually it's two or three
 CPTs I see per site and they stack up quick.
