Comment (by Ninos Ego):

 BTW the function get_the_content() and the_content() seems too much
 inconsistent compared with e.g. get_the_excerpt() and the_excerpt(). Also
 it looks too much complex (job could surely be done in an easier way). May
 it needs a complete refactoring.

 Pro:
 - Cleaner code (more consistent)
  - Easier to maintain
  - For devs: easier to understand and implement

 Contra:
 - Theme and plugin authors may need to refactor their code

 PS: I hope for WP 5.0 you're planning some refactoring, e.g. media lib and
 code cleanup / consistency.
