[theme-reviewers] get_template_part()

[Chip Bennett]

get_template_part() itself works just fine for either parent or child themes. 
I've switched all my calls to theme template files to use the function, 
instead of include().

But I don't think it would work in the use-case in which the to-be-included 
file is in a subdirectory. I think that would still require an include() call.

(Perhaps something to bring up in Trac, as a possible addition to 
get_template_part() ?)
