Comment(by sirzooro):

 There is one important piece missing, as [comment:31 Denis-de-Bernardy
 pointed earlier]:
 > Following up on the previous remark...
 >
 > some kind of is_custom() function would be useful, and a means to bypass
 the WP query entirely in the workflow immediately after the query is
 parsed. else WP_Query may get loaded with junk.
 >
 > init_query_flags() for instance, probably also needs some reference to
 is_custom = false. after parse_query is done, $wp_query filters itself
 through do_action_ref_array(), and if it ends up with is_custom set to
 true at that stage, the actual WP query gets skipped entirely -- WP should
 then make the assumption that it has been set up already.
 >
 > I don't think we actually need anything in the template loader, since
 there is a hook in there already. But there definitely needs something
 over in the wp_query query class to go something like: please bail the WP
 query.

 I would like to see function with following declaration, in order to be
 able to check if current page belongs to given post type and/or give list
 of custom posts to test against:[[BR]]
 `function is_custom( $post_type = '', $post_id = '' )`
