22882	get_post_ancestors() now returns false in addition to array()	dd32	nacin	"Under [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/3.4/wp-includes/post.php#L428 3.4, get_post_ancestors()] would always return an array, in error conditions, it would return an empty array.[[BR]]
Under [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php#L675 3.5, get_post_ancestors()] returns an array of ancestors, as in 3.4, except, in the case where the $post passed in is NULL/FALSE/0/empty, then it now returns false.

This results in warning such as this: `Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() ` when the result of get_post_ancestors() was used directly in a loop,

Admitably, it's bad code which triggers this, calling get_post_ancestors() with the global `$post` object before it's set up in this case, but it's still a chance in behaviour which I felt needs documenting on trac. This is either a instant 'We should just return an array()' or 'wontfix: Plugins are doing it wrong and should fix their code' ticket.
