Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 I haven't had a chance to test this out in full yet, but the direction and
 patch are looking nice. :thumbsup:

 One thing that caught my eye is how many line changes there are in
 existing tests. Most (almost all?) of this seems like it can be done
 without the object subtype handling (e.g. the conversion to static
 `$author`, `$post_id`, `$post_id_2` throughout). I would commit that first
 to better convey what is actually changing in the tests vs being added as
 new in the introduction of subtype handling.
