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

[Abhik Biswas]

Actually, it's the opposite.
Integrating theme and plugin options are okay, I am talking about
retrieving the option values in the plugin files. The way Options Framework
retrieves the options value, that need to be a fixed namespace if I want
the plugin to work on all my themes.
