 +1 for the ideas
 -1 for it's current form

 Can we not reuse and extend the code that already exists for loading
 plugin info and use pre-existing functions like plugin_basename rather
 than the hacks around with the callstack?

 The pre-existing code will already pull in the version info for a plugin
 and calling something like get_plugininfo(plugin_basename(__FILE__),$info)
 isn't hard.

 I'll try and code up an example.

 It is probably also good to show some examples of how it would be used?
