19938	Setting fields as ids or id=>parent does not setup post/count properties	ejdanderson		"This may be intentional. But consider the following
{{{
$query = new WP_Query(array('fields' => 'ids'));
if ($query->have_posts() || $query->post_count || $query->post || $query->current_post != -1) {
   //do something
} 
}}}

The code that sets all these properties is never fired when getting the posts, regardless of what is returned.
The same happens for `array('fields' => 'id=>parent')`; 

Is this intentional? I can see reasons on both sides of this.

Perhaps at the very least, the 'the_posts' filter needs to be run when these arguments are passed"	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Query	3.0	normal	wontfix
