Cannot modify existing post types

[jakewhiteley]

As described in your docs here, it states that you can modify built in PTs using this package.

But in the PostType class, we encounter the following code which clearly makes this impossible:

public function registerPostType()
{
    // create options for the PostType
    $options = $this->createOptions();

    // check that the post type doesn't already exist
    if (!post_type_exists($this->name)) {
        // register the post type
        register_post_type($this->name, $options);
    }
}

It would be great if this could work again! Until it does, could you please remove it from the docs.

I tried using register_post_type_args to modify the post built in, but to no real luck - the post types are initially declared in wp-settings@347, which is before functions.php has been loaded.

I know we can modify built-ins through entirely different means such as modifying the global $wp_post_types, but that's all I got
