 As a plugin/theme developer, it would be really useful to be able to call
 the page_template_dropdown function with a parameter string similar to
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_dropdown_pages
 wp_dropdown_pages].

 For example, the current '$default' argument should accept a string of
 arguments where:

 - 'selected' is the selected template (replaces the current
 $default)[[BR]]
 - 'echo' can be set to 1 to return instead of output[[BR]]
 - 'name' will set a name/id for the menu[[BR]]

 This would make it easier to create plugin/theme options where you could
 select which templates you want to use for different content.

 At the moment it is possible to do this by replicating and adapting this
 function but I think it would make more sense to use the same multi-
 parameter argument as
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_dropdown_pages
 wp_dropdown_pages] and
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_dropdown_categories
 wp_dropdown_categories] and include it in core?
