[theme-reviewers] Admin Panel Frameworks and "Unique Callback Slugs"

[Chip Bennett]

I think:

1) If it's in a Plugin, it would use the Plugin's namespace/function prefix
2) If it's in the Theme , it would use the Theme's namespace/function prefix

If you make your Theme options properly filterable, there should be no
issue at all with integrating Plugin options into the Theme's options.
