Comment (by impleri):

 Is that really necessary? If a template author creates a template file of
 `archive-magical_mystery_type.php` and loads
 `get_template_part('archive')` on a post with `my_own_custom_type`, why
 should this assume the template file in question doesn't handle
 `magical_mystery_type` less than `archive.php` does? One would think that
 if a template author goes out of her way to create an archive page for a
 custom post_type, that file will work for that custom post_type better
 than the plugin author's default.
 Further, all of this still employs WordPress's own process and template
 logic (e.g. `locate_template`) with the single addition of allowing plugin
 authors a last-stop attempt at outputting their templates without using
 get_content, [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4647604/wp-use-file-in-
 plugin-directory-as-custom-page-template/4975004#4975004
 template_redirect], or template_include -- each which again make it
 difficult to adjust for different themes (in their own peculiar way).
