 Many themes call query_posts() one or more times, each overwriting the
 previous $wp_query object. Unless we're super careful, this can break a
 lot of stuff.  To get back to the original query, I find myself doing

 {{{
 $GLOBALS['wp_query'] = $GLOBALS['wp_the_query'];
 }}}

 a lot.

 I propose a new wp_reset_query() function that replaces $wp_query with the
 original $wp_the_query.  It might prove useful to attach that function to
 the wp_footer action.  It'd probably actually fix a lot of custom stuff
 out there that no one knew was broken, but it'd likely also break a few
 things for people.

 Attached adds the function and no more.
