Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Replying to [comment:17 peterwilsoncc]:
 > @TimothyBlynJacobs I've included a check for `get_post_status_object(
 $redirect_obj->post_status )->public`, do you think I should logic check
 for `private` or `internal` too?

 I really don't know. I don't think it's valid for more than one of
 `public`, `protected` or `private` to be set to `true`. But since the
 function doesn't enforce that perhaps some developers have accidentally
 done that?

 I guess the `publicly_queryable` post status arg might also be the thing
 to check? At a first glance, I can't find it being used anywhere in Core
 though.
