Comment:

 I'm just realizing the phpdoc for the `$post_id` param says "Optional.
 Post ID. Default 0." This actually is NOT optional. If a `$post_id` of `0`
 is passed, then the SQL query will look for a `wp_posts` row with an `ID`
 of `0` which should never happen. I think the phpdoc should be updated to
 say:

 {{{
  * @param int  $post_id      Post ID.
 }}}

 The default value of `0` should still be kept for the `$post_id` param,
 just in case there is any plugin not supplying a value. I can't imagine
 why this function would have allowed the global to be used as the default,
 but maybe it used to be the case.

 I'm not really seeing any good unit test coverage for this
 `wp_delete_post()` function. This seems like a good time to add it.

 @SirLouen Do you want to do so?
