 It would be nice to avoid using `'who'`, which is crusty both in
 conception and in execution #15871. `'who'` says "role" to me, and what
 we're looking for here is not directly related to roles. An argument like
 `'has_public_posts' => true` is better, but still very specific.
 `'has_public_posts' => get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ) )` is
 better still.

 It's a lot more work, but something like this would be of much broader
 use:

 {{{
 'post_count' => array(
     'operator' => '>=', // Default to '='?
     'post_types' => $post_types, // Default to array( 'post' )? Or all
 public types?
     'post_status' => $post_statuses, // Default to array( 'publish' ),
 ),
 }}}

 Obviously I don't want to overengineer this, but at least a 'post_count'
 argument feels like something that would be useful beyond just the
 specific needs of the API. Maybe the `'has_public_posts'` for now?
