[wp-hackers] Request new function: get_plugininfo()

[Mike Purvis]

It's a good idea, I approve. My one other request would be for a
plugin to have a way to get its own version number. Obviously you
wouldn't want to have to parse the thing every time; ideally it would
be in the same serialized array that stores the list of active
plugins. Of course, you'd have to keep the two in sync, which might
mean some other hijinxs involving the modification date on the file or
something.

All around, perhaps it's just not worth it. But it would be nice--in
the spirit of staying DRY--for a plugin to know its own version,
without it being a separate variable.

Mike
