 After talking with @mikeschroder as Pressnomics about how hard it was to
 extend the media manager, I wanted to open the discussion here for ways we
 could improve that.

 One way I made it work for the Stock Photo plugins at GoDaddy was to
 override core bindHandlers (see https://github.com/godaddy/wp-stock-
 photos/blob/master/assets/js/stock-photos.manifest.js#L13) and register my
 new view. One problem with that approach is that it makes it hard for
 anyone else to extend it for themselves.

 I'm turning out to the community so we can discuss ways we could expose
 hooks that would let anyone extend any part of the media manager
 experience. This could pave the way for awesome new plugins.
