Comment:

 > return an empty array (as another way to exclude a post from the
 sitemap, for example)

 Just for reference, the filter was actually deliberately implemented so
 that this is _not_ possible as it would mess with pagination. So it was
 never recommended to return an empty array. Instead, the WP_Query args
 should be filtered to exclude posts.
