[wp-hackers] Pseudo-Cron

[Otto]

Ahh, yes, you're correct about the arguments to
wp_clear_scheduled_hook. Never noticed that the used func_get_args()
there before now. Seems weird, given that the rest of the functions
work differently.

You're also correct about the arguments needing to be exact. The
arguments are used to build a key which is used internally by wp-cron.
Without the exact arguments, it won't find the entry in the cron
option array.

Thing is, I've never actually attempted to use wp-cron while passing
arguments to the functions before. Never had a need to do so.

Still, I expect that if you're the one to originally schedule the
event, you would arguably know the arguments you called it with and
therefore would be able to unschedule it as well.
