[theme-reviewers] Option to create child theme from theme option

[emin ozlem]

 I think this shouldnt fall into plugin territory since there would be no
content loss upon deactiivation. If we are to exclude every "functionality"
from themes, what are the purpose of themes, just picking colors ?

For example I was preparing a "custom page creator", you would choose from
select boxes as such;
I want to create a page that displays "posts | custom_p_type" from
"cat1-cat2" ordered by"ID | date" etc... you get the idea.

Creating page-templates are a pain for the average user. This
"functionality" i am planning not only makes it easier; but also prevents
data loss. Because the creator wont create new page-* files but instead it
will use the default page.php file and get the query parameters from an
option.

Would that too also fall into plugin territory ?
