[wp-hackers] a plugin of a theme's own

[Robert Deaton]

There is no straightforward way in PHP to choose which function gets
declared other than to declare them in order, which is why the plugin
files load first, they can override anything in
pluggable-functions.php or potentially in theme function files if the
theme functions are properly checked (if(function_exists(...)))
