    I'm pretty much in agreement with Chip on all of this.  Even I'd
    need to study the API to review it.  We're not plugin reviewers;
    we're theme reviewers.  Part of what we have to do is look at what
    we as theme reviewers can realistically review.<br>
    <br>
    I think this would make for an awesome plugin.  I somewhat see the
    argument for bundling it in a theme (it's helpful), but it's much
    better suited as a plugin.  I'd even promote it to my theme users if
    I felt like the code was good.<div><div class="h5"><br>

        <div>And also: I really don't like the idea of asking Theme
          reviewers also to have to be Plugin reviewers.. I question
          whether it is reasonable to ask a *Theme* reviewer to have to
          understand not only the WordPress template system, but *also*
          the Filesystem API, in order to review that Theme properly?
          There are very few reviewers competent to conduct such a
          review (and while I'm pretty sure I could get through it, I
          would have to go back into the Filesystem API docs to be sure;
          it's certainly not inherent). Otto could conduct that review
          without research. Justin might be able to. A few others (who
          do both Plugin and Theme development) could. But the vast
          majority?</div>
