 > Just to see what it looks like, I took prettyboymp's API and made
 options-media.php work with it.  I had to s/admin_init/admin_head/ to get
 it working, which won't play nicely with plugins.

 Interesting.

 I don't particularly like how this works :)

 I think the first step here should be to take our current procedural api
 and flesh our a design for how we could extend it to provide the
 functionality we need.

 Then we can look at implementation choices (OO/Globals/...) that make the
 best sense.

 I think we can have a strong API which allows you to build flexible
 settings pages without overloading our memory usage with large objects or
 overly populates globals.
