WP_Post

[braydonf]

A class to group all related template tags/functions for a post so that the global $post variable isn't required to be used from template tags.

All existing template tags would continue to work, as-is, and this would provide a new API for writing templates.

Each post_type could have it's own class that would be extended based on a standard WP_Post class.

Here are some ideas for similar functionality and use:

Template Tag	WP_Post function
get_permalink()	$post->permalink()
the_title()	$post->title()
the_content()	$post->body()
the_excerpt()	$post->excerpt()
the_date()	$post->date()
get_post_meta()	$post->meta()
get_children()	$post->attachments()
the_post_thumbnail()	$post->image()
