Turn a URL into an Attachment / Post ID

Massively improved function developed for plugin heavy on images:

if ( ! function_exists( 'get_attachment_id' ) ) {
    /**
     * Get the Attachment ID for a given image URL.
     *
     * @link   http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/7094
     *
     * @param  string $url
     *
     * @return boolean|integer
     */

        if ( false === strpos( $url, $dir['baseurl'] . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" ) ) {
