Comment (by joyously):

 > `get_file_data()` will not correctly parse a readme.txt file.

 I bet it will, and it would be better than adding a lot of extra code. It
 takes parameters for the file to use and the headers to look for. What's
 the big deal? The format is the same. Did you try it?

 But I notice that this diff adds those headers to the defaults in
 `get_plugin_data()`, so are they just in the readme or in the plugin file
 also?
