 * Hi.
 * I don’t know, if this is the right place for feature request. Sorry if not.
 * Is it possible for one of the future versions of the Plugin, to Select pages 
   etc with post_status type “future”?
 * Example wy I’m aksing this:
 * I’ve installed the sports press plugin. The matches that are not played, because
   they’re in the future (like tomorrow), they all have the post_status future but
   the matches are visible to the visitors. If a match is canceled, you can flag
   the match as canceled, but you don’t have to change the the date of publishing.
   Now I want to post a new post on the WP Blog that the match is canceled an want
   to insert the match in the post with your plugin. But in the search form I cannot
   find and select pages etc with post_status type “future”
 * At the moment I have to change this in every new version of your plugin in the
   insert-pages.php

 * Would you be comfortable implementing a hook to change which post statuses are
   shown? Another option would be to include future post visibility in the “Anonymous
   users can see this inserted even if its status is private” option that you can
   check for any inserted page.
 * I lean towards one of those, since WordPress convention is to hide post statuses
   set to “future” (seems like a potential risk if privileged information is behind
   a “future” status, such as a new product launch, but Insert Pages can bypass 
   that and show it anyway).
