 2 functions that seem to return very similar info
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_stati/
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_statuses/

 imo get_post_stati fails the rule about descriptive function name

 BTW imo all that statuses part should be rewritten for 6.4 and for the
 workflows to work
 It is not possible now to simply register a new status as it does nothing
 to the UI (#55895), there are functions like get_page_statuses and
 get_post_statuses without some universal function for any post type etc.
