WP_Query to find any published post with ID greater than given ID

If the date query doesn’t work because of modified post dates (e.g. if the posts’ timeline is no longer linear), here’s a posts_where filter’s suggestion (untested):

add_filter( 'posts_where', function( $where, $query ) use ( &$wbdb ) {
    $id = $query->get( '_id__gt' );    
    if( is_int( $id ) && $id > 0 ) {
        $where .= $wpdb->prepare(
            " AND %i.ID > %d ",
            "{$wpdb->posts}",
            $id
        );
    }       
    return $where;
}, 10, 2 );

to support this type of _id__gt argument in WP_Query for ID greater than some positive integer number:

$args = array(
    'post_type'    => 'post',
    'post_status'  => 'publish',
    '_id__gt'      => 296380,    // <-- our new input argument!
);

$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );

But using queries based on some given ID values in production, sounds brittle.
