Comment (by DD32):

 >  we can't change wp-config.php easily.

 Very true, However, Luckely at present its a require_once statement.

 I'll suggest another method, add {{{ require_once( dirname(__FILE__) .
 '/wp-settings.php'); }}} to wp-blog-header.php and remove it from the
 default sample wp-config.php.

 If users still have the line in their wp-config.php, then it'll still work
 as expected, However, it'll mean that users can make their wp-config.php a
 stand alone file if a plugin requires it. (Who knows, If it was mentioned
 in a announcement, come a few releases down the track, it might be safe to
 assume that its no longer included).

 It means it wont be useful in the immediate future, but overtime it'll
 become available.
