-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 In the doc block of `get_post_custom()`, we can read that it always return
 an array. This is incorrect. As the return value is directly coming from
 `get_post_meta()`, the function can return, according to the doc of
 `get_post_meta()`
 - An array of values
 - False for an invalid `$post_id` (non-numeric, zero, or negative value).
 - An empty string if a valid but non-existing post ID is passed.
