#20900 closed defect (bug) (wontfix)

Throw an error in `get_default_post_to_edit` if the specified post type is not defined.

Description

Currently get_default_post_to_edit will generate a post with the specified post type, even if it doesn't exist. Let's give it a chance to do something else.

If this is conceptually a good idea, also do it during wp_insert_post() and other similar functions.

I don't think we need a check on API level.

We have checks on post-new.php and edit.php which prevents user errors. As a developer you should know your post type. Also existing stuff could rely on this, which would break by such a change.
