 The inline documentation for `get_post_type()` is incorrect in stating
 that the function uses the current post if none is specified.

 Either the function needs to be changed to use the current post, or the
 inline documentation needs to be correct. As nacin pointed out, the
 function is `@since 2.1.0`, so the former is most likely a bad idea.

 I think the function should be deprecated in favour of a function that has
 the correct functionality, and the old function's documentation should be
 corrected.
